Practice makes perfect, it's always wise to make sure you are confident in the application of makeup to your horse well in advance of your first competitive outing.
The use of cosmetics products such as coat sheen, muzzle gloss and even colour sprays have become standard in the show ring - though before using them, you need to be certain that you are not breaking any rules.
Like most showing yards, we bath horses the day before a show. I always use warm water, not only because its more comfortable for the horse, but I don’t think cold water is as effective at lifting the grease
Hot clothing provides a soothing and refreshing means of grooming as well as applying extra shine. It will accentuate the natural shine of a horse in good condition and moisturise and condition the skin as well.
If you are intending to plait your horse on a regular basis, it is a good idea to have a reasonably short mane to do this with to prevent huge “golf ball” size plaits which do no justice at all to the overall turnout.
