FAQs
Can I use this on a horse that isn't chestnut?
This product is specifically formulated for chestnut coats to enhance their unique pigment; using it on other coat colours may produce an unnatural result.
Is it safe to use near the eyes or mouth?
Avoid applying near the eyes, mouth, or any broken skin to prevent irritation.
How do I remove the make-up after the show?
Use a mild horse shampoo and warm water. For stubborn spots on light hair, you may need to wash the area more than once.
Can this be used on a body-clipped horse?
Yes, it can be used on clipped horses to even out the colour and cover clipper lines or marks.
Will this product rub off on my clothes?
While designed to set well, it is a cosmetic product; avoid excessive contact with fabric or rugs after application to prevent transfer.
Troubleshooting
The colour appears too dark or unnatural.
Apply less product next time and ensure you are blending the edges thoroughly into the surrounding hair.
The make-up has stained white leg markings.
Wash the area thoroughly with mild soapy water. You may need to repeat the process two or three times to fully lift the pigment.
The product is difficult to spread evenly.
Use a damp sponge to assist in blending or ensure the coat is free of dust before starting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before full application, always perform a patch test on a small, less visible area of the horse to check for skin sensitivity. When applying to the horse, ensure the coat is clean and dry to allow for smooth distribution. For storage, keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When removing the product, especially from light-coloured areas, use a mild shampoo and warm water; you may need to repeat the wash cycle to ensure all pigments are removed from white hair or sensitive pink skin.
