Has anyone used coconut oil in their horses mane and tail?
from user DejaVu:
I use it and completely recommend it. My geldings tail is soft, shiny, and strong. Because it’s so moisturized, there’s no breakage of the hair, so his tail has gotten longer and thicker, since the hairs are having the chance to grow all the way down instead of just break off at his cannon bone.
Coconut oil is the only oil that fully penetrates. It soaks in around 30 minutes or so, and doesn’t leave a nasty feel afterwards. Just a soft tail.
I don’t use anything else. I don’t use anything sold in tack stores anymore…
It doesn’t take a whole lot, but in case you use a lot, it will still soak in completely, just over a longer period of time. You really can’t use too much to the point of oiliness. The stuff soaks in fast.
