1. Dirty Charlie needs a bath.
His mane is a mess and he is covered in poop. If you can believe it, I will give him a full bath with 3 simple, natural products. and none of it is purple :)

2. Here are the products (click on the product name to be taken to the website link):
CFS™ Concentrate + Paste Shampoo: This concentrated shampoo is awesome. It is easy to use, you only need a little bit and it gets them SO clean. I use the bucket of water method: I put a small spoonful in a empty, clean bucket and add about a gallon of warm water and then use that on my brush and scrub them all over and then rinse out.

Citrafoam Sulfate Free + Foaming Shampoo: This is great on their manes and tails as well as extra dirty spots. It gets foamy and you can see the cleaning happening before your eyes. It also smells great which is a huge bonus. You can do the bucket method if you are covering a lot of horse or a little dime sized dollop in your hand for a mane or tail. A little goes a long way.
Citracreme Deep Conditioner + Rehydrant : This conditioner is so good. Put a liberal amount in the mane and tail, leave it sit for 2-3 minutes and rinse out. Your manes and tails will feel so healthy and soft and the shine is incredible. Also smells fruity which is good.
Rehydrinse Coat Protector + Conditioner: The last bathing step and the easiest. Using your clean bucket, add a small amount of Rehydrinse and add a gallon of water and sponge all over the clean horse. Do not rinse it out, just sweat scrape and your done. This is a conditioner for the whole coat and it repels dirt and stains (which is how I kept Charlie clean for a week at a horse show with no bathes).
Gleam Moisturizer + Shine Serum: This is the mother of cowboy magic. This will make combing out a breeze without the slimy, sticky aftermath. Put a small amount in your hands and work through the mane and tail. You will notice the softness and shine added to the hair and no residue on your hands and brushing will be unnecessary for days. This stuff is awesome and smells SO good.
The Groom Net: This little net is an awesome body scrubber. It is gentle on their skin and muscles but gets the dirt out and is easy to clean and dries quickly (and takes up almost no space in a bucket or grooming bag). It's the small green ball in the photo.
The amazing product line (missing is rehydrinse) and my tools: bucket, brush, sponge. |
4. Here is Charlie's mid-bath today. All that foaming and lather and bubbles is the Citrafoam Shampoo (and I only had to use a dime sized amount)!!! Best part of all the products: a little bit goes a LONG way. This saves you money in the end because you use less product to get better results.
Scrub-a-dub-dub! |
