This detangler suits riders who groom regularly and want to keep mane and tail tangle-free without pulling, and anyone who wants to include the coat in the same pass. Handy in a sandy or dusty yard, since the brand describes a dirt-repellent layer.

If you mainly want shine and volume for a show or an inspection, the Grooming Deluxe Kentucky Super Shine Gloss Spray Amandel is more targeted: it is aimed at mane and tail and suits plaiting. If you want a shine spray for the whole coat that, according to the brand, repels water, dust and dirt, Veredus Super Sheen glans - en ontklitspray 500ml is an alternative.

This page covers the 500 ml bottle, which measures 90 x 90 x 260 mm and weighs 0,584 kg. Grooming Deluxe offers the same detangler in 5 L under article number 42420, with a matching pump; we do not stock that size. The brand does not state how many applications one 500 ml bottle gives: that depends on the length of mane and tail and on whether you treat the coat as well.

Shake the bottle well before use; the brand asks for this explicitly. Spray the mane from above and from below, so you also reach the roots, and work the tail section by section with a soft brush or a wide comb. Over the coat, mist lightly and wipe with a cloth: that gives an even film without wet patches.

If the coat or tail is very dirty, washing is the first step; the detangler then works better and you avoid rubbing sand through the hair. Grooming Deluxe publishes no pH value, no warnings and no storage advice for this product. Keep the bottle closed and out of direct sun, and do not spray towards the head.

Shake the bottle well. Spray evenly on the top and the underside of the mane and tail, and mist lightly over the coat. Then brush or comb through well with a soft brush, or wipe the coat with a cloth. Rinsing is not needed. On a very dirty coat the brand advises washing first. The brand gives no storage advice; keep the bottle closed and out of the sun.
