MARCH PRODUCT REVIEW

Well, springtime is around the corner as well as shedding time!  This is the time of year when your horse’s coat is a bit shaggy, no shine and is ready to come out in handfuls.

I have used quite a few things to try to decrease the amount of time spent shedding each spring.  There are 2 products I especially like.

One is the Grooma, which is a soft rubber long grooming tool.  It has soft rubber teeth that grab the hair and it just seems to pull it all out to the top and can just be whisked away. It fits your hand perfectly.  Grooma makes other shapes and sizes, but this one seems to work great for me.  It is sold in most tack shops. 

The other product is the Slick N’ Easy Block that I am sure you have seen and may not have tried because it looks just too easy!  Well, it is and it is wonderful.  It takes up all the dead hair and scrapes it away in no time.  It also shines the coat.  It is a fiberglass block and will definitely do the job.  Usually, there is no brushing needed afterwards.

I am not sure which of these 2 products I like the best, but both are excellent and neither are expensive, so get them both!

Last, there is a fly spray made of cedar oil that I have found to work wonders.  Next to my homemade spry, this is great.  It is Sierra Cedar Horse Wipe.  There are no pesticides in it at all …all natural.  

Enjoy the springtime!
