WINTER SHINE – GOOD CONDITION COMES FROM WITHIN
We recently received this video from a professional showjumping yard, and they were seriously impressed with the shine on this horse's coat.
The horse had recently been clipped, but these photos were taken after a day in the field, not after a grooming session.
Rug off, a quick wipe over with a cloth, and this was the result!
At their first indoor show, several other riders came over to ask what they'd done to get the horse looking so good.
The yard also made a really interesting point.
In summer, it's much easier to produce a shine. Horses are regularly washed off after exercise, and shampoos and grooming products can make a big difference.
But in winter, when it's too cold for regular washing, it's a different story.
This isn't a shampoo shine. It's a condition shine.
And when you're taking six or seven horses to a show, being able to get them looking this good without spending hours grooming is, in their words, a game changer.
This horse is fed our Maximum Gut Health Plus and Vitamin E Oil.
Good nutrition plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin and coat condition. It's not just about what you put on the outside.
WE'D LOVE TO SEE YOUR WINTER SHINE!
If you're feeding Maximum Animal Health supplements and your horse has a coat worth showing off, we'd love you to send us a short video.
Nothing fancy, just a quick video next time you're at the yard showing the natural shine on your horse's coat. No special grooming or coat sprays beforehand.
Between now and Sunday 8th November, send us your video or pop it in the comments below. Let us know which products you're feeding too.
We'd love to put together a Winter Shine reel featuring our customers' horses.
And if we get enough videos, we'll put everyone's name into a random wheel draw and give away a few prizes!
