Follow this comprehensive guide to learn how to use ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat effectively for your equine companion.
Step 1: Preparation
Before you begin, gather all the necessary supplies. You will need a clean cloth or soft brush, the ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat, and a dry grooming area. Ensure your horse is calm and comfortable.
Step 2: Assess the Skin and Hair Issues
Identify the specific skin and hair issues you want to address with ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat. Whether it's excess oil, odor, dryness, or sweat, this versatile product can help improve the condition of your horse's coat.
Step 3: Apply to Dry or Sweaty Coat
Depending on the situation, apply ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat to either a dry or sweaty coat. For skin and hair issues, ensure your horse's coat is dry before applying the powder. For sweat absorption, apply directly to the sweaty areas.
Step 4: Sprinkle the Powder
Take a small amount of ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat into your hand. Sprinkle the powder onto your horse's coat, focusing on the areas affected by the skin and hair issues or areas of sweat.
Step 5: Massage or Brush In
Gently massage or brush the ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat into your horse's coat using circular motions. Ensure the powder is evenly distributed and blended with the coat for maximum effectiveness.
Step 6: Allow the Powder to Absorb
For skin and hair issues, allow the ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat to sit on your horse's coat for a few minutes. This will allow the product to absorb excess oil, neutralize odor, and moisturize dry areas. For sweat absorption, the powder will absorb moisture and help dry the sweaty areas.
Step 7: Use Under Horse Equipment
For additional benefits, apply ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat underneath horse equipment such as saddle pads, winter blankets, and coolers. Sprinkle a small amount onto the surface that will come in contact with your horse's coat.
Step 8: Brush Away Excess
Using a soft brush or cloth, gently brush away any excess powder from your horse's coat. This will remove any visible residue and leave a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Step 9: Observe and Assess
Step back and observe the results. Take note of the improvements in the skin and hair condition, the reduced sweat, and the added benefits under horse equipment. Repeat the application process as needed to address ongoing issues or manage sweat.
