I actually just use it on his tail. His mane has a different texture, so something different works better on it. If it's super dry, I'll rub some oil into his mane, and then it's good again for awhile.
But for his tail, I usually coat it on really well, make sure it goes over his tail evenly, braid it, and go for a ride. I'll take it out after the ride, and brush it out well, then by then it's dry and soft, so I'll just turn him back out.

Actually, for the winter time, the olive oil cream I use, maintains it well throughout the winter. I'm able to just do the coconut about twice a week or so. It certainly benefits the tail more, when I use the coconut oil more, and more often, but I just don't have the time to work the oil to liquid, and rub it in well. I prefer it in the summer, when it's a thin liquid all the time, and I can just squirt it into my palm, and really spread it in well.

Thanks, though. My mix of stuff has kept it nice through the winter.

Do you rub it into the mane really good? Usually, i rub it in really good. The temp. has been in the 50's here and if I keep rubbing it until I don't see any of it. His mane is so thick it just absorbs it up. I do just a little section at a time and rub it in my hands and then rub it through his hair. I keep rubbing that section until it completely disolves in.

At first, I was having the same trouble you are having but I started doing a smaller section and completely rub it in before going to the next section. I don't know if it was because his hair is so dry that it soaked it up or because I used just a little at a time of the CO.

I hope this helps you. I really like how it is helping my horses mane and tail.

Hey DejaVu, am collecting friends on forum from Texas!

I think western riders, at least good ones, want the horse on the bit, too. Just that since a curb bit is so very much more powerful, the horse will maintain more of a 'cushin" of distance off the...

The tom thumb bit itself will cause a lot of problems just due to a flawed design. I apologize for jumping in the middle of you for your original post, but many of us tend to get on the fight...

Slow isn't the goal - just remember that. Collection and balance is the goal. Get up and jog around your room at a natural, steady pace. Imagine that is the canter of a hunter horse. Forward...

Teach your horse to move away from your leg, regardless of whether you are direct and indirect reining. Once your horse moves away from your leg, it's a matter of raising your hand UP so the horse...

It sounds like you have more of a business relationship with your horse. I like to have a balance of the two. I spoil my horses with treats and scratches every day, and I'm their best friend as...

I've said this before.... I have found that if one likes an individual horse and knows how to communicate and interact with horses in general, it's not rocket science to create a "bond" with one and...

Cute thread. Everyone is glowing! Entertaining myself by taking belly pictures keeps me sane while waiting for the foal. ...

Now, keep in mind OP, what I am about to say it not meant in a snarky way at all, it's just how I feel. This is the exact problem with the commercialized NH movement. You are more concerned with...

I'm not gonna argue here (as I know nothing about WP), but the whole discussion very much reminds me one of those hot discussions about dressage we have from time to time in "English Riding" section....

I'm trying to think of the breeds that you'll see (on average) a lot of multi-disciplined horses... Quarter Horse Paint/Pinto Appaloosa Morgan Arabian are the ones that come to mind. ...

Wrongo! A well trained QH horse, or any breed, can do it ALL...(dressage, cows, barrels, eventing, etc)....I have one. He's semi-retired and his title now is Head Babysitter for my son!

I think we can all agree that the average western pleasure horse isn't going to have to collect to the same degree as a grand prix dressage horse. But that doesn't mean collection is completely...

My advice? Because you are having issues with this particular mare, she's not ready to show yet...keep her home and continue your training with her. Depending on which rules the show is using, if...

Easy, slow down and don't panic. You might need to wash the tail several times to get all the purple out but one thing you can try to camoflage it is, Roux Fanci Full RINSE in white or ultra white...
