How do I get a nice gloss on my horse's coat?

I was at a horse show this past weekend and I would spray Show Sheen on my horse's coat but the finished product just didn't look right. His fur sort of stood up and got ruffly. Is there any suggestions on how to get a nice, flat, polished gloss look on your horse's coat before a show?How do I get a nice gloss on my horse's coat?
For your horse to be truly shiny, you need to feed them right. He needs oil in his diet by the sounds of his coat. Corn oil(not veggie), flaxseed oil. They both are good. Put high end feeds in him for you next show. Big show people with horses get their shine from the inside out.How do I get a nice gloss on my horse's coat?
The best thing to do, although it takes regularity, is to fully groom your horse at least once a day, maybe more. Look at some books or websites that have how to properly groom your horse, and it will start to shine, in a pretty short amount of time.





If you don't have the time to groom your horse every day, then you can feed them supplements. Faram's Super 14 supplement is what I use during the show season, it works very well. I noticed a difference in just about a week. You can also feed them vegtable oil, but this can make him gain weight too.





If your show is comming in a few days, you can give your horse a bath, washing and conditioning his whole coat. Or you can use spray on glossers, found at your local farm store, Tractor Supply, State Line Tack, or Dover Saddlery. Hope this helps.
my horse had the same troubles. i did a trial and error period and tried new coat feed dressing toppers and switched my horse to different feeds with more nutrients. coat dressing was what seemed to work the best for me. after a few days it gives your horse a nice glossy shine and makes the fur very soft and pretty. it also prevents the coat from feeling kind of ';gunky'; like sprays and soaps cause. it is also very affordable and it also helped with my horses hooves.
There is no better way to get a shine on any horses coat then to make sure they get quality feed and a good brush down every day, especially after a sweaty ride. The day before a show I like to bathe my horses with some sort of shampoo (make sure it all gets rinsed out) and blanket them with a sheet or turnout coat. If I am banding or braiding the mane I put on a neck sleezy too. To get that extra shine at a show I lightly mist Show sheen on a sponge and rub it on. I always put a bit on my horse's nose and ears as well as their chest and knees to define their points. Avoid spraying directly onto your horse becouse that is always to much and it dries crunchy looking! Also if you have a grey with black points like I do it never hurts to give that black and extra shine for a pop-out look.
I can tell you that feeding the right nutrients is essential to your horses outlook. If it was winter time or fall your horse probably still had his thick coat. I use a wire curry comb in the winter show season. Also there is another product like show sheen it is called ultra. most of the arabian riders use it on their show horses and swear by it. I tried it and you have to be very careful because it can make your horse look oily if you over apply it just put barely any on a rag and very lightly run it along your horses coat. Another thing is legacy is a hoof joint and coat supplement and it changed my horses coat in a month.
Properly groom your horse on a regular basis, especially prior to a show. Using all the different appropriate brushes will bring out the natural oils in your horse's skin. There is not an artificial product on the market that can make your horse look as beautiful as good grooming. And his natural oils won't allow your saddle to slip like show sheen and all that other chemical junk.
I bathe my horse the night before the show with all his coloring shampoos. Then I apply conditioner to his mane and tail. Then I apply a bath oil to his coat. I use a great product by the maker ';Carr %26amp; Day %26amp; Martin';, www.toklat.com, it is the coat conditioner and it comes in a oil in a bottle. The spray also works good to to spray in the mane/tail for any detangling or also as a spray (like ShowSheen) to mist over your horses body just before your showmanship class.





After all the excess water has been slicked off his body, I spray the ShowSheen all over. Especially on his ';topline';, hindquarters and legs.


Then i put a hood (a Slinky) on him and a flysheet or lightweight stable sheet, on him, band/brain his mane, braid his tail and pull it up so that it is just over his hocks, and wrap his legs in polo wraps.
I agree, your nutrition program is the most important, and I agree with American but to me your question describes a horse that does not have a tight short coat. No matter what topical stuff you use its gonna look like crap. At this point you have 2 solutions, blanket up your horse, feed good and groom the piss out of him with a curry, vacuum, brushes and wipe down with a cloth, now this will take 6 weeks to get a super coat, or you can body clip him, use a slicker and blankets, hot oil treatments and rub with cloths to bring out natural oils.this process takes only a few weeks. I would also have a vet check for cushings if your horse is not letting go of his coat.
what i do for my mare is i give her 1/2 a cup of flax seed everyday, and before shows (like the night before) i show sheen her and put her blanket and sleezy on.





in my opinion the first step to a glossy looking coat is getting your horses hair shorter so it lays down and doesnt stick up. it really helps to blanket and sleezy you horse at night. just be sure that you take it off the next morning so that your horse doesnt bake in the hot sun. and you do this every night unless its a warn night, then what i do it put a fly sheet on her.








hope this helps. :]
Show Sheen is an artificial product. If you want a truly beautiful coat you need to feed the products that will create a healthy horse and give the glossy, silky coat. I feed HP1, a natural supplement from Blueridge. My horses' coats are so dappled, shiny and soft and they even show shiny when they are dusty!
Pryana has a nice every day glossy sheen. I also use the special color enhancer shampoo that works really nice, makes my horse look a beautiful red. I have always used Show Sheen it works fine for me so I can't help you with other sprays.
I started with flax seed in the feed, but have changed to a product called glanzen. It doesn't cost that much more than what I was paying, and it has some other good stuff in it as well. I don't show, but both guys are really glossy and look great!

You can add 2 tablespoons of corn oil to his grain or linseed meal in his feed. Lots of brushing shines the coat and it is best not to bath a horse before a show it does dull their coat, vacuuming works better.
while this might take a while if you can leave him outside at night and groom him a lot and make sure it is throw it could take a while put it works try not to leave him outside when it is really sunny.... it will bleach him out
If you aren't wanting to spend a whole lot of money you can pour vinegar onto a rag and wipe it gently onto your horse's coat. It's an old trick my grandfather taught me. Really works!
Keep your horses coat clipped short so it can't get very dusty or dirty and groom regularly. Make sure your horse is healthy and it will have a natural shine.
you could always use this stuff called show pepi. i use that for my horses every time i got go to a show. and btw wat show did u go to last week
Johnsons baby oil....Especially good if you have a black bay or chestnut horse. I use it and i think its better than show sheen etc and its alot cheeper aswell.
Add Calf Manna to his feed. Groom him daily. Then use something like Show Sheen sparingly.
Feed you horse flax seed cookies- they work wonders ;)
there are many products out there but I haven't ever tried any of them... I would suggest going to a local tack store...

How can I clean a brush which I used to paint with gloss paint?

How can I clean a brush which I used to paint with gloss paint (white spirit based paint)?It doesn't clean in water, why?How can I clean a brush which I used to paint with gloss paint?
because it's an oil based paint. you need turps, or white spirit.How can I clean a brush which I used to paint with gloss paint?
Spirit and water don't mix. To clean a paintbrush recently used for spirit-based paint, soak it in white spirit. Alternatively you can soak it in a proprietary paint-brush cleaner and wash that out with water. If the paint has dried - throw the brush away.
White spirit based????? Wouldn't be very good paint lol.





You need white spirit (turps) to break down the paint on the brushes and remove it.
I think petrol or paraffin will also work
Turps or white spirit. Soak the brush in it overnight and rinse in the morning. All clean!
because of the oil in the paint, you need to use white spirits to clean your brushes

i dont think there is much of a difference except for maybe the range in colors and the texture-feel and smell of the products that you cant get in loreal or maybelline. but there is a big difference between the designer brands and say Wet n Wild and NYC.

I forget what its called, but theres a lipgloss tested that didnt come off the testers for 2 whole days! I belive it was 50 dollars or so.

I bought a $4 lip balm from target, which gives a natural shine without coming off, and left it. Good luck!

How to refinish black high gloss bookcase?

I would like to refinish a black high gloss bookcase with gold trim. The gold trim, I think is glued to the top edge. Does anyone know how to get the trim off?? Does anyone have any helpful suggestions as to how I can stain this mahogany and where to buy new cabinet knobs and drawer pulls?


Thanks so muchHow to refinish black high gloss bookcase?
First you will have to knock down the gloss by either sanding or using Paseo deglosser. Since you want to stain it, you will have to sand it down to the bare wood. Then you can use a wipe on stain and apply it until you have the color saturation you desire. Then you will have to seal it with a non-yellowing UVA/UVB protecting polyurethane with a couple of coats. Cabinet hardware can be found at Home Depot, Expo Design, Lowes Home Improvement centers and almost any kitchen design showroom. And, of course our sponsored link, goknobs.com

How can I get Polyurethane Gloss out of paint brushes?

I'm staining my hardwood floors and using a Fast-Drying Polyurethane Clear Gloss for the finish/top coat. After putting the final coat down I let the brushes soak in a jar filled with paint thinner. So far they've been soaking for three days and it's still not coming off. I'd rather not buy new brushes if I don't have to. Is there anything else I can try to get it out of them?How can I get Polyurethane Gloss out of paint brushes?
Go to the paint solvents section of your local hardware store, and get MEK, or Methyl Ethyl Ketone.





Soak the brushes in MEK, and the polyurethane should dissolve, even if the polyurethane has dried.





If there is glue holding the bristles in the brush, the glue might also soften. But at this point, you might end up buying new brushes anyway. It's worth a try.





MEK is a VERY volatile solvent, and you should always use care when working with it. The fumes from this solvent will strip the paint from anything that gets too close to it, so don't leave the can sitting next to the fender on your car. Use it in a well-ventilated area. And if you have rags with MEK on them, DO NOT throw them in the trash. They can spontaneously ignite. Soak them in water.How can I get Polyurethane Gloss out of paint brushes?
What I have always done is to purchase the cheapest brush possble to do the job and when finished for the day, throw it away, not worth the time and trouble to clean it. Start the next seeeion with a new brush. Or try to do the whole job at one time. Just a thought, there should have been ';clean-up'; directions on the container.
gas, turpentine
