Carr & Day & Martin Gallop Color Enhancing Shampoos

Wet the coat well first, then apply the shampoo undiluted. Work it through with a brush, a sponge or by hand to a rich lather and rinse thoroughly afterwards. On a grey or on white markings it helps to work in sections, so the shampoo does not dry anywhere before you rinse.

Choose the version by your horse's main colour. Carr & Day & Martin states that an exact match to the natural coat colour is not necessary: on a dark bay, either Bay Horses or Black Horses can be a sensible choice. You may use the same shampoo on mane and tail; after that the Carr & Day & Martin Canter Manen - en staart Conditioner - 500ml can take over the combing out.

The brand does not publish which colour enhancers or optical brighteners are used, and gives no pH value, no storage instructions and no warnings. Close the bottle after use and keep it cool and dry, out of direct sunlight.

These shampoos suit riders working towards an in-hand class, a competition or a photo shoot who want the coat colour to show, and owners of a grey or a horse with a lot of white who do not get the result they want from an ordinary shampoo.

If you simply want to lift dirt, sweat and grease quickly, the Carr & Day & Martin Gallop Conditioning Shampoo 500ml is faster and rinses out more easily. If it is mainly stubborn grass and manure stains on light hair, the Carr & Day & Martin Gallop Vlekverwijderende Shampoo 500ml is more geared to that job. If you cannot wash at all, the Carr & Day & Martin Stain Master - Vlekkenspray works on the spot and without water.

Wet the coat and apply the shampoo undiluted. Work it in well with a brush, a sponge or by hand to a rich lather and then rinse thoroughly; results are immediate. You may also use the shampoo on mane and tail. The brand gives no storage instructions and no warnings: close the bottle firmly and keep it cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.
