Natural is IN. And so is The Herbal Horse. I have used many of the natural and organic products from THH, the most recent being Shine Bright.
Finding a coat conditioner that is silicone-free is difficult. Most equine shine or moisturizing products list a “silicone shine agent” as the key ingredient, YUCK. The last thing I want to spray on my horse is liquid plastic. I had ditched the idea of using a coat conditioner until I saw that Helen from The Herbal Horse had come out with her own version. Shine Bright is a natural conditioner for both horses and dogs made with organic oils that are healthy for your animal’s coat as well as as “non-toxic, antibacterial, and moisturizing”.
This summer was brutal on Ax’s coat. His usual rich mahogany, dappled coat quickly turned a lack-luster, crispy brown after a month of being in the sun all day, every day. Normally my solution to something like this would be to use some elbow grease and groom until your arms were sore, but nothing worked. It was dry, brittle, and dull, and no matter how much he was groomed, the sun and salt air kept fading him out. About halfway through the summer I ordered The Herbal Horse Shine Bright in hopes to bring back his bloom.
After using the coat conditioner in my grooming routine for a couple weeks, the difference was already noticeable. His coat was much softer and moisturized. It was still a dried tan color, but I expected that to resolve with time. Two more weeks and Ax’s coat was back to normal in texture and color. He felt soft and sleek and returned to a nice blood-bay. No more crispy ends, rough texture, and dullness. In a total of a month of regular use of Shine Bright, Ax’s coat was back to being shiny and healthy, without using any nasty chemicals and plastics.
