Grooming Tips & Tricks

In the Tictac Equestrian office today, we have been swapping advice on how to keep our horses squeaky clean and looking lovely for upcoming shows. Ever wondered how to get your horses socks white? Or even their body if you own a grey J Well we’ve put together a few of our tips to help you out!

At Tictac Equestrian, we stock a large range of quality shampoos and sprays to help you take those nasty stains out of your horse’s coat and make the most of their natural colouring. One of my favourites that I use on Honey’s socks is Carr & Day & Martin Stain Remover Spray which is very effective in removing those stubborn yellow stains, yuck! I also use Gallop shampoo by Carr & Day & Martin that you can buy for greys, chestnuts or black horses which is specially designed to bring out the natural shine and highlight the tones in your horse’s coat.

If you’re looking for something that you will have at home to use,  I really like using green Fairy Liquid on white socks to get them sparkling white. A girl that keeps her horse at our yard uses vanish soap bars on her skewbald! It does work but I would definitely advise testing it on a leg first to make sure it isn’t going to irritate your horse’s skin J

If you have any useful tips or advice for our team and customers on some ways to get your whites white, we’d love to hear from you! Contact us through Facebook or Twitter.

Rachael’s Corner: Coat, Mane and Tail Care

All of our Tictac Equestrian team love Carr & Day & Martin Mane and Tail Conditioner to keep our horse’s tails in perfect condition and very easy to maintain. The results last up to two weeks which means that it makes it a lot easier to brush through between uses, preventing you from damaging the tail anymore than necessary.

I’ve used Canter Mane and Tail Conditioner, along with Canter Coat Shine on my horse’s for years and would highly recommend it to keep your horses looking healthy and shiny (even in the miserable winter months! J) It also contains citronella so repels flies and smells

- amazing!
