RE: [RC] New topic/manes - Bob MorrisOdds are that it was "captan" It is often used for eradication of mites. Some times on Rain Rot and other fungicidal infections.

Angie, he was probably referring to a fungicide....roses are notorious for "black spot", which causes the leaves to drop off. Hmmmm...don't know the side effects are of using that on horses! <grin> Perhaps remove the spots from an Appaloosa? Both my guys have a great mane and tail. I don't bathe my horses a lot, but when I see "itchy" activity, I wash their mane and tail in Selsun Blue, the dandruff shampoo, following the directions as for human dandruff. Have also used the "antibacterial" dish soap, but harder to wash out and doesn't seem to work quite as well. Brushing EVERY day with a dog groomer and Cowboy Magic or Show Sheen will let it grow long without breaking off....when you groom, look closely in there for "yellow crusties".

It was like that when I bought him at almost 5 years of age. So I was surprised when his former owner told me that when he was young he kept it all rubbed off to the skin and he didn't think he'd ever have a mane. He said somebody recommended that he "Put the stuff on it that you put on rose bushes" (your guess is as good as mine). He said after that it grew right in. My theory is that judging from Kaboot's forelock it had a little fertilizer in there with the insecticide. :-) Angie ____________________________________________________________ ____ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!
