Go to www.healing-tree.com to order it directly, and some tack stores also carry it. It's inexpensive and works. I have also used Oxyclean and gotten results. Dilute the Oxyclean to the proportions in the directions, scrub it into her coat, and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. It also works great for tails--put the solution in a bucket and soak the tail in it for a few minutes. I used to wash the mane and tail of a palomino gelding I had once a week, and I'd use Oxyclean to help brighten it up. White vinegar also works--just be sure to soak the tail for a while then put a REALLY good cream rinse in it to keep the hair from drying up and breaking.<br /><br />And if all else fails, you can try soaking in hydrogen peroxide. You can buy it by the gallon bottle online at websites that sell veterinary products.<br /><br />I find that the non-bleach based products work so much better than the bleach-based ones because they're less likely to dry out the hair and the horse's skin. If they do, just using a cream rinse or some spray-in hair detangler (for horses or humans) does the trick to keep the hair soft. In fact, I use detangler on all my horses' hair once a week just to keep it nice and neat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-13691848108813843242009-05-16T07:22:00.000-07:002009-05-16T07:22:00.000-07:00My method is as follows:

Why yes, my palomino really does have white hair....<br /><br />Basically, I just gave up. It's easier for me this way. :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665794050418919719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-78350529410579295892009-05-16T02:50:00.000-07:002009-05-16T02:50:00.000-07:00Bleach.

I'll try some vinegar next, cause I have it on hand, but next time I see Cowboy Magic I'll pick some up.<br /><br />Definitely going to try a vinegar rinse on her tail. She has a pure white tail, but it's so dirty it looks mixed.
