Horse Grooming Tips

1st STEP TO SUCCESS
"The Natural Remedy"
Problem Horse Dandruff
Horse dandruff is an unsightly condition afflicting many horses. This condition can be quite uncomfortable to your horse as the itching drives the horses crazy! Eliminating dandruff can be done easily with, 1st Class Shampoo and 1st Silk Mane & Tail Conditioner.
Skin, your horse's largest organ, is constantly replenishing itself, and in doing so some flaky skin will appear on your horse's dark shiny coat. Compounding the problem is a tendency in some horses, through nervous or stressful situations, to "shed" additional amounts of surface skin. There may also be "surface scum" which is dirt or residue left from the previous shampoo and conditioner. The end result is horse dandruff.
In a container add approximately 3/4 cup of 1st In Line 1st Class Deep Cleansing Shampoo to 1 gallon of water. Thoroughly wet your horse and wash using a sponge or other means to apply shampoo. Rinse! Repeat the above steps for deep cleaning of the skin while brightening and whitening of the coat by leaving the shampoo on 3 to 5 minutes. You'll note an increased amount of lather because most of the surface dirt, oil and scum was removed after the first rinse. 1st In Line Products will not dry out or damage your animal's coat due to the protective ingredients that are included in our shampoo. But it is show time and you want show clean!
"The Tip"
When washing your horse, use a Boar Bristle brush, brushing back against the grain of the coat and working the lather down to the skin. This will help loosen and eliminate most flakiness. Our additives including Guar and Chamomile help restore and enhances the coats natural shine while soothing and softening the skin.
Well, time's runnin' late and you've got a horse to show. Stay with us and we'll see you in our Winners Circle.
2nd STEP TO SUCCESS
How to Remove Staining and Yellowing

The following procedure should help remove any yellow tinge or stain and leave your animal's coat bright and white. This same procedure will also serve to heighten the contrast for colored coats as well.
This tip is based on re applying a fine layer of 1st Silk Mane & Tail Conditioner to the horse's coat to eliminate staining and yellowing. This procedure can also prevent the staining agents, from the environment, from getting through to the animal's coat.
1. First bathe your animal with 1st Class shampoo (Step One)
2. Dilute the 1st Silk Mane & Tail Conditioner 10:1. (Step Two) Apply generously to the areas prone to staining with a sponge. Do not rinse.
3. Repeat the application of conditioner daily for a minimum of 4 days. For ease of application you may wish to mix the conditioner in a spray bottle so you can apply it easily.
4. When desired, shampoo your animal thoroughly as described in step 1. The staining elements from the environment will have collected on the conditioner and will rinse off leaving your animal's coat bright, with a luxurious Silky feel and look!
FOALING MARE
To minimize staining, mix 1st Silk Mane & Tail Conditioner at a 10 to 1 ratio and apply liberally throughout entire hindquarters including legs and tail. Do not rinse. And apply one to two days prior to foaling. After delivery and celebration, shampoo with 1st Class Shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Shampoo again for additional cleaning and rinse, then re apply conditioner at 20 to 1 ratio. This can be either rinsed out or left in.

3rd STEP TO SUCCESS
How to remove that yellow
1st Snow White Whitening Spray was developed specifically to enhance the true white color of the coat and yet will increase the depth and contrast on two color and multicolored coats without fading the color. This is done without the use of bleach or bluing thus eliminating the fear of drying or damaging the hair.
Used as directed this advanced formula spray will help eliminate yellowing and staining from the animals coat and will restore it to a brilliant natural color.
Directions
1. Thoroughly wash the animal with 1st Class Deep Cleansing Shampoo (Step One)
2. Next use 1st Silk Mane & Tail Conditioner. (Step Two)

For the best results for whitening those troubled areas, we recommend, that the animal is still damp. Spray 1st Snow White on the areas you wish to whiten and brighten, making it very wet, then brush in thoroughly using a forward and backward motion. This is to make sure you are not only coating the hair on the top but also on the bottom of the hair, throughout the entire coat. This will give the coat color a more uniform appearance. Let stand for at least 5 minutes (do not rinse out) and then blow dry.
When spraying onto a dry coat extra care must be taken to feather the spray into the surrounding areas to avoid spotting.
Caution
1st Snow White was designed to enhance the true white color of the coat and should not be used in conjunction with a bluing shampoo.
To avoid eyestrain the freshly groomed animal is best viewed with sunglasses!!!!
