Why you need M-T-G in the winter!


shapleys_mtg_and_mtg_plus.jpg


We often think that summer poses the most horse skin care challenges, but winter has it’s own set of issues that need your attention. Sure, there are no bugs in winter!But, fuzzy winter coats often mask skin issues. Your first line of defense in the winter is constant and thorough grooming! Here are some handy tips for winter grooming:


  • Be sure to remove blankets daily to inspect and groom your horse.
  • Use proper tools to get through a winter coat. You might need a stiffer curry comb or a dandy brush with stiffer bristles.
  • Use your fingers to inspect your horse’s skin every day! Especially where the saddle, bridle, and girth lay.
  • Use coolers to help your horse dry if he’s sweaty.
  • Consider clipping. You don’t have to full body clip, but you can do a trace clip to keep things easy to monitor and easy to clean. And easy to dry!

If you happen to find some skin issues in winter, M-T-G is such a versatile product that you can use it for any and all winter skin problems.Be sure to keep your Veterinarian in the loop, and read the directions!You will need to do a spot test.

Common conditions that can be helped by M-T-G include:

  • Rain rot
  • Scratches, or mud fever
  • Hair loss from blanket rubs
  • Mane or tail hair loss from blanket
  • Dry skin
  • Mystery skin problems
  • Thrush and other hoof issues
  • Mane and tail rubbing

Original M-T-G is formulated to eliminate the causative agent creating the skin problems so it treats at the source to dry up and heal the affected area. Its special ingredients also condition the skin and hair around the problem area which promotes both healthy skin and hair regrowth. Original M-T-G keeps the skin conditioned while creating a barrier against the elements. It offers quick relief and visible hair growth in 3-5 days.

You can also use M-T-G Plus!It’s the same as original M-T-G, except the distinct aroma is gone when the product dries.

Testimonials

“Magic Sheen is the only shine product I trust on my horse and it works beautifully! It detangles quickly, leaves a high shine and I just love the smell. And it repels dirt better than any product I have used before without drying out his coat. My horse always stays much cleaner than his barn mates!”
