I just purchased a paint horse and I have never had a horse that had any white.?
What is the best way to get him brite white for horse shows?
Main and Tail Horse Shampoo first off to wash your horse with, second off look for briteners specifcally designed for horse coats. Any Feed Supply Store will have them. Since they carry stuff like that for 4-H and FFA kids to help brighten up the coats on their animals.
Check out the links below for names/brands of just what your looking for.
I would personally go with the champion brightner with additional fly repelent. I know if I were a horse I would greatly appreciate that Fly REPELENT *smile* Those horse fly’s hurt when they bite and leave nasty welps on the coat too.

Coming from someone that knows the rules for showing animals at fairs; you CAN actually Brighten your animals coat to enhance it’s already natural beauty. What you Can’t do is ALTER it’s color by ADDING or Taking away blemish colors you don’t like or want showing up at a show. When showing as long as you state specifically what you have done, be it medications or grooming with animals or what ingrediants you use for a food project or; what type of photo shop program you used to add/subtract from a photo for a photo project you can do certain things that are deemed acceptable as long as you state you have done so. HOWEVER you can NOT use steroids no matter what on any animal project to enhance that animal. I know for a Fact that Brightners are acceptable to use at show’s; and are used all the time. As I said the only thing they will NEVER tollerate is the use of sterroids or other types of enhancers to make the animals look more muscular or perk up etc. Those will get an animal and the shower disqualified in a heart beat. Not to mention if your part of a club it will put a black mark on that club and also cause the judges to test EVERYONES animal in that club.
You can get special shampoos from a tack and supply store for horses with white hair. They look dazzling when they’re done!

believe it or not but Palmolive dish soap work’s wonders on show horses, that’s what my aunt uses all the time and she owns a an appaloosa horse that is champion over all in the California cow palace.

first make sure he is clean and groomed and then add a little blueing to the shampoo which is laundry detergent, but you must rinse it out quickly or it will stain the coat.
good luck in your halter/hunter hack and or undersaddle/western pleasure/reining or what ever else you may show.

When I was in 4-H I used a soap called orval, some people use it to clean windows. I used it to wash my sheep to get ready for shows, My sheep came out brite white! You can get it at places like Big-R or your local farm or ranch store.

Bluing is commonly used. It does a great job, but you also need to keep him as stain free as possible between events. Show sheen after a bath, and every few days will keep "stuff" from sticking. It works pretty well, most stuff will brush right out after it dries. Be sure you do not wash him too often or you will dry out his coat and skin and he will not look as good(bluing is very drying)
Also, talcum powder can be put on the white areas to make them whiter. Just put it on right before entering the ring, and then brush the excess out. Before long, you will know all the tricks, and will have your favorites that you "swear by!"

You can not.. If you do, lyou would be disqualified for discoloring a horse for the show….. you should know that….

Actually, in horse reality, kid, the color ‘white’ they call it ‘grey’. i know it sounds weird, but its true. ask your vet.

there is this dark purple shampoo for white/gray horse you can find in horse supply stores. It really really works well. I forgot the name of it.

show white or any of the whitening shampoos for horses with show sheen inbetween to help keep the white white. IF you get to a show and the horse gets soiled on the white, you can buy a can of white spray coloring (they sell it for cattle use so is safe) IF your show doesnt state anything against it, or if its just small areas that are soiled , you could use white groomers chalk. Baby powder will also work on legs ,but not as bright as the groomers chalk. Once you get a horse white, keeping it white is not too major a problem unless you live in a red clay area and the horse loves to roll in that mud, that is the worst thing i have ever had to get off a horse! Nothing seems to take the red out ofthe hair coat!
Showsheen or any of that type of conditoner will work great in helping keep the white clean, about the only thing that will go thru it is grass stains, and usually they are not very bad considering what they would be like without using it! IF you use blueing, be careful you do not use too much and wind up with a blue horse! have seen that happen and its hard to get out! good luck, i love paints and pintos of all types and have owned some, but were stabled so didnt have the dirty white problem often! thats something you could do also, stall the horse the night before the show, in order to keep it from rolling after the bath, as most will immediately go out and take a good roll in the worst place they can find! lol.

Baby powder RIGHT before you enter the ring. Well at least if you’re showing dressage or jumping etc.! probably not a good idea for something where the judge is going to have to touch the horse. They might not like white powder on them!
References :
Shampoo than massage baby oil. Brings out the shine.
References :
Get hair color remover from the store. Use it on that area, it takes color out immediately and safely

Sorry, you’re wrong. Paint’s markings are called white. All white horses, however, are ‘grey’. Not paints.

Use baby powder or corn starch and rub it into the white areas. Then brush off any excess. They also sell some stuff in mags with glitter in it, it makes them sparkle in the light. Try valleyvet.com
