I've heard of so many people that use this as a conditioner on their horses tails, but how do you use it? What's your routine of using it, how often, do you rinse, etc. I've always been curious cause I've used it on my hair before; I'd usually sleep on it then wash it out in the morning, but I...

I am new to horse ownership. I know that I need to oil/clean my bridle, but am not sure the proper way to go about this. Does anyone have suggestions for products, or resources for a step-by-step format for cleaning a standard English bridle? I am nervous to attempt this without some good...

I have a turtleneck, longsleve showmanship shirt that is pink with roses. It doesn't have cuffs or a collar. Am I allowed to wear this in a riding class like western pleasure? The shows are small and local, with usually about five in a class. Can I use a medium oil saddle with a dark oil...

Ok, so I want to see everyone's opinions on oil supplements. I had my mare on rice bran oil for a weight gain supplement and I've tried different oil supplements. I recently read in Smartpak that is was unhealthy to feed oil supplements and would cause many health problems, even if fed by exact...
