I'd like to know which other products other than Mega Tek have some of the "good" ingredients.

As an aside, in my youth, the old cowboys used to say that bacon grease was the best to get the tail and mane to grow.

I've always thought that MTG smelled a lot like bacon grease!
You're welcome. I remember the bacon grease thing when I was a kid. I remember the 'old timers' using bulls fat with sulpher on simple wounds too.

I'm wanting now to look into Mega Tek. As far as other products, I guess would have to be a label reader.

Love your name by the way lol.. I can relate!

1. It makes in shinny an detangled..not necessarily long

2. I would recomend washing and conditioning twice a week for a few weeks then to continue about every other week with some sort of oil or detangler inbetween washes.

3. Only brush it when clean so you dont tear up the hair and if you just work on keeping it moisterized it will grow faster on its own.

4. Same as CO... :)

Those are my best answers....anyone else have anything better?

I love coconut oil! In my research I have found opposit of what has been posted here. Coconut oil is about the best stuff you can put on your horse's hair because it's not synthetic, so it doesn't just coat the hair.
In my experience, though, don't put it on if it's at all cold outside. I put it on yesterday and it was in the 40s. The oil melted in my hands, like normal, but then hardened on her mane, so her braids were hard as a rock
Here is a link I found:
