If your horse ever gets temporarily stained, try
using the swimmers shampoo or "deep" cleansing/detox shampoos that professional
hair lines put out. The grocery stores ones won't cut it. Professional lines
have ones that penetrate that first layer without harm. I use them before perms
and when I need to remove a bit of color. You must leave it on a few minutes and
scrub a bit. In a pinch, lemon Joy dishwashing soap may work, believe it or not.
I recommend it to my clients when they have botched up their color at home and
it got too dark and can't see me for a few days.

I had
a saddle pad with color bleed dye onto my gray gelding and turn
him pink. The pink stain didn?t wash off of him
even with color brightener shampoos. He looked like a ?My Pretty Pony? the whole ride
season. No amount of washing/rinsing the pad helped either. Maybe
having a Dixie Midnight under it would have helped but I
didn?t know about them at the time. I am pretty sure
a post production dye job is going to bleed onto your horse and your gear
when it gets wet.
