DIY Equine Coat Conditioner & Shine

[@sophieroth9760]

YOUR HORSE IS ADORABLE

[@sarahsexton4806]

Definitely going to try this, even though my horses have a natural shine to them but since it is used for like moisturizing and to have a better smooth coat and to kinda heal scabs bug bites; my horses have tons of cuts and scabs so this is perfect because I have searches high and low for one product that benefits both coat conditioning and prevents bug bites and I haven't found a very good one. I have used the show sheen, not that good as you say lauren. Love you lauren, I hope for some more DIYs, I have tried all of yours that you did on myequineaddiction, love them all!!!!

[@denisekirk5784]

Best coat conditioner ever! I know you don't claim it to be a fly spray but when I put this on my mare, I never see flies on her. I love it

[@sara.3042]

I really liked the idea for this video. Would love to see more vids if you have any other natural product recipes.

[@emilyhopton222]

You should totally do more DIY's!!!! I can't wait to try this one!!

[@bridlepaths2153]

I CANNOT WAIT to make this stuff!! Great recipe, Lauren! My mare has very dry and sensitive skin, especially in summer, so I think this will be perfect!!

[@kearralee8701]

This is such a good idea! Ps you should do more vlogs! :)

[@sarahmoran9631]

I love these DIYs :D especially the horse treat and fly spray ones on myequineaddiction :)

[@whyello5169]

This is such a great recipe, Lauren! Thanks so much for sharing. I can't wait to try it out.

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

Elliazarr Glad you like it :)

[@jadegreen5861]

I added lemon juice for smell and so it keeps bugs away (:

[@o.frickoff12]

be careful! Lemon juice can alter the color of the hair and its also EXTREMELY drying.

[@kaitlinhyde3123]

Ill try this sometime! I love your channel lauren 😍 please make heaps more videos! Especially give aways, tack hauls and barn tours❤❤

[@kmsevers]

Just be careful with baby oil because if it gets on their pink skin it can make their skin more susceptible to sunburn. :) Everything else in this I love!

[@Knight.Equine]

I don't think I would add the glycerin, which is the main ingredient of saddle soap and is known to leave a waxy substance on the surface of whatever it's applied to, but I liked the rest of the recipe! Nice video!

[@MariaEquineWay]

Wow! I think, this idea is really good! I've never even thought to make something like this myself) maybe, I'll try too) but, not now. I think, it consist to much oil for this hot season of summer...

[@HorseyContent]

Looks great! When you first made it, what did you test it on to make sure it was safe for Ralph? Thanks! :)

[@coruscate916]

I added a bit of vitamin E oil to mine and it works really well on my paint mare ;)))

[@doooriane]

Hey ! I'm happy to discover an english equestrian youtuber there ! Sorry for my english, I'm a french equestrian youtuber (I don't know how you named people who make video in relation with horses on youtube ?). I will follow you, great videos, bye ! :)

[@chelseydruschel6286]

I have to thank you for the recipe. I made this and everyone at my stable has fallen in love with it.

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

im soo glad!!

[@chelseydruschel6286]

I replaced the baby oil with apricot kernel oil. Much softer coat.

[@koequestrian]

Yes!!! I needed this so bad!!! Rueben my little fleabitten gray needs this!! Thank u

[@dauntlessdivergent7942]

you could totally add lavender oil for scent and also it could maybe calm them down more

[@Micawber1410]

Definitely have to give this a go! All natural....can't really go wrong 😊

[@leylarustamova]

I would choose coconut oil instead of baby oil since it's healthier (baby oils is just mineral oil) and because of its small molecular structure it actually absorbs well and doesn't just sit on top. Also, aloe Vera juice is great, as well as lavender oil. The scent of lavender was proofed to be mentally and physically relaxing on most mammals, horses and humans included, so adding some into horse products is great for the horse's mood and hair health and generally it just smells great

[@emeraldjade2010]

This has been a 'to do' for a while.. I have all ingredients and have wanted to save it for summer in a couple of months time when his coat is shorter.. Just a quick question, I had watch the how to make a flyspray on the MyEquineAddiction and was wondering if I added a few of those ingredients in this mix if it would add a fly spray effect? If not I will pop some citronella oil and see how that goes :) Thank you for the video!

[@hannahb4278]

I'll definitely be trying this! love your videos :)

[@marievanurk3171]

How is Ralph doing after that injury, great video and LOVE your channel 😀😀😀😀😀

[@AyezaHabibi]

I'm definitely trying this for my new horse! :D

[@AllThingsPossible]

This is such a great idea! Thank you for sharing :)

[@enikojuhasz6221]

You know my horse is also called Ralph but in Hungary we write it "ralf" he is very energetic and jump and really really big but I love him 💙

[@frankiehemmings8190]

Looking forward to making this!

[@AnnaEquestrianx]

This is such a good recipe, I love how natural the whole thing is with such organic and chemical free ingredients. Just also wondering that if this was digested in a small amount by a horse would it have any affect? Is it toxic or poisonous? Obviously it wouldn't be good to like drink, but i mean if it was sprayed on a horse and another horse licked it or bit the horse. Defiantly going to try this anyways, it seems way better than buying something from a shop which has been pumped with chemicals and additives :)

[@HmainTomlinson]

Anna Equestrian It's edible, but wouldn't taste good lol

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

Anna Equestrian The coconut oil is for sure edible, but the rest most definitely shouldn't be consumed in large amounts. I don't think it would be deadly though if another horse tasted it!

[@chelseaclaire13]

There's no such thing as chemical free. A chemical is the makeup of all things both natural and man made. Water is a chemical, coconut oil is a chemical, tea tree oil is a chemical. Chemical is not a bad word and most chemicals are not harmful but necessary for life to exist. (think Oxygen, very important ;) ) I think the appropriate term you are looking for is "toxicant" or "toxin" or a chemical that is known to be harmful or caustic to the skin or body.

[@chelseaclaire13]

I should also add that most "additives" used in both human and equine products are so that the ingredients used mix well together and don't result in any unwanted chemical reactions that could cause irritation. I agree that show sheen isn't great, but they go through great lengths and research to create a product that won't harm your horse! Their entire company relies on the safety of their products, otherwise law suits would be a major issue and they wouldn't be in business.

[@emmam8876]

You should definitely make more DIY videos :) maybe main and tail detangler or something? Xx

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

Emma mc carron This is technically a detangler because of all the oils in it :)

[@StaceyShowjumper]

Once made up, how do you store it? And how long does it last before it goes ‘off’?

[@equineguru08]

Could you share WHERE we can get these ingredients? Thanks, great video!

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

equineguru08 I bought them all from Walmart :)

[@equineguru08]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Cant wait to try it!

[@katiebooth5416]

What do you edit with? 💞💞 Love this video x

[@chelseaclaire13]

I love this idea! I wonder though, if it is pH balanced for a horse's skin? People products are not ph balanced for equine skin. Does anyone know of a recipe/formula that is pH neutral or pH balanced for horse skin? Thanks!

[@thedressagepercheron781]

Be careful with the ratio of oils, especially if you know it's going to be really sunny out, like tanning oil, a high concentration of oils in a coat spray can cause skin burns if in direct sunlight :) great mix though, I can imagine it smelled great!

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

My White Horse Yup dilute it a bunch with the water :)

[@jandunn3075]

just one comment all of your ingredients are excellent except the baby oil baby oil is mineral oil and it actually over the long-term will dry your horses coat out so I would find something else to substitute for that I was a hairdresser for 30 years I know.

[@TheTheFoxxy]

Çok güzel ❤️❤️ your channel is amazing ❤️❤️

[@WalkTrotCanter-ky4sl]

What do you use to edit your videos? By the way love your channel, but I miss MyEquineAddiction😢😄

[@ponyabouttown4981]

Neem oil is awesome for fly repelling

[@haileyb3882]

I tried it it works great thanks

[@brittsequineriding4326]

what editor do you use?

[@jenniferbunt9784]

Please do more diy's (if possible) :D

[@kellychurchill3166]

We did it and it works great thanks for the video

[@annadavidson2338]

Please do more DIY's

[@StridingforSuccess]

Awesome video! I can't wait to try it :) I just have to use up my showsheen first :P

[@miatreadwell1874]

How often and when should I apply?

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Love DIY's thanks so much.

[@annelin317]

How much did you pay for him? I love your videos!!

[@meganwilliams3940]

Also that is amazing

[@miazicolello1]

instead of baby oil u should use skin so soft its a moisturizer and is better for their skin

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

Mia zicolello Thanks I'll give that a try in another batch :)

[@camillagrassi93]

Lauren McKinnon Just to let you know baby oil is a petroleum derivate. it is such a shame they still sell it especially for kids :(

[@honeydevil13]

+Mia zicolello Skin-so-soft is the Worst thing to use in anything You put On a horse; exspectly if its one with sensitive skin or worse a horse with PINK skin. If you put it on a horse with pink skin you will burn them.

[@miazicolello1]

+Dida Kingston We use it on eight horses daily not a single one has ever had burns. My trainer got this tip from multiple big name pros in the hunter world like Kelley Farmer and Amanda Steege and they wouldn't recommend it if it did their horses damage. In fact the only thing it has done for our horses is make their skin and coat shinier and healthier. Please don't try to tell me incorrect information if you can not even spell correctly. thank you and have a nice day! :)

[@rachelgerdt4677]

I love,DIYs

[@kelliedoyle6119]

You should try distilled water because you use essential oils :)

[@naomimark4343]

Love this diy!

[@h4l812]

so good, thank you so much!

[@obedphoto]

Can I use just water coconut oil and baby oil?

[@annagracecayou1026]

LOVE THIS!

[@roseandbonafamily1570]

Can I use some sort of other oil not baby, because I dont have it.

[@mimiw-s9900]

Great the only ingredient I have is tea tree oil and water :)

[@nevatayler5276]

I love you so much!!!!

[@margaretlil1466]

I like your recipe

[@meganwilliams3940]

[@katiepender4355]

Will you do a vlog with Maya? :3 i really miss you guys doing videos together

[@ΝέρωνΠαναγιωτόπουλος]

how it smells?

[@gemeventing1968]

I wish i could do that but i can't put oil on my horse because she lives outside and it would burn her if the weather gets to hot :c

[@sydneyjohnson7379]

what did you use to edit this video??

[@Hunterjumper891]

Can all the ingredients be found at a natural health food store? I've never seen liquid coconut oil or glycerin anywhere

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

tealikestack Probably yes! But I got them all at walmart!

[@equestrianlover2524]

how often should u spray it on

[@brittsequineriding4326]

1 a week in the summer

[@caitlinwhyte1353]

I'm trying thossss

[@lalamcharg681]

🎉🎉🎉

[@o.frickoff12]

just a heads up, coconut oil doesn't moisturize. and despite popular belief that the beauty community has unfortunately spread, it's not good for skin or hair either. it might make it soft but it isn't actually doing anything. it sits on the hair shaft. it doesn't soak in. and it blocks moisture from getting in because of that.

[@amanix9100]

What is which hazel

[@bubblesmoment2859]

If your missing like one ingreident could you still make it?

[@brittsequineriding4326]

yes

[@madyleslie2772]

Does anyone know that it actually works because I have a white horse and he get really dirty?

[@ryan-se8lf]

Do you and maya go to The same barn

[@equestrianenthusiast2298]

Does this make the saddle slip when you spray it on

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

Brookette Bryant I usually spray it on after our rides so the next day it's all soaked in. If you're spraying it on before a ride I would just avoid spraying on the saddle area directly because it has so many oils in it. Better to be safe than sorry :)

[@equestrianenthusiast2298]

Thanks! Btw love your channel. Can you do another barn vlog, I really enjoyed your last one!

[@illinoisequine3578]

Can you use water instead of H20?

[@HorseyContent]

Anna Alexander Water is H20 :)

[@illinoisequine3578]

I know but I didnt know if we just had to use that kind of water:)

[@illinoisequine3578]

Horsey Content

[@BoomBoom-rw3ru]

H20 isn't a type,of water, it's just water, I'm guessing you can use any water that you have tap, bottled ect.

[@meilinadamski4665]

I add petroleum jelly

[@sblanchard35]

How much do you think this would cost?

[@sblanchard35]

Shane Blanchard Could you add citronella oil to help repel bugs

[@berithall8590]

Shane Blanchard yes

[@myequinefun581]

What is Maya's channel?

[@taylorswiftlove52]

My Equinefun HayItsMaya

[@leonaahmed98]

Can u maybe not put in like one ingredient if your horse is like allergic and also does the coconut oil have to be liquid

[@sblanchard35]

Leona Ahmed The coconut oil should melt into liquid once you put it in or you can just melt it yourself and I think if your horse is allergic to it leave it out

[@livetoride7953]

you can probably skip an ingredient to fit your horses needs if you want. and the coconut oil probably needs to be liquid so that it will stir in better. you can always melt it in the microwave if it's in solid form. hope this helped!

[@laurenmckinnon2421]

Leona Ahmed yup modify it if you like :)

[@SofiaSaide]

I found some of the things in target and then went to Walmart and found the rest of it

[@meilinadamski4665]

Do you own equine obsession?

[@equestriankmh3146]

No her and HayitsMaya use to own MyEquineAddiction

[@reingoebel7995]

so i saw that your horse's tail is kind of thin and short and wanted to recommend M-T-G This detangles, conditions, thickens, and makes horse's manes and tails.

[@gerardosalas9477]

Oil and water don’t mix

[@shilohtails6897]

First comment!!!!

[@shilohtails6897]

Wow someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed! Being the first comment on a video was on my bucket list, I dont appreciate your comment! If no one cares, aka you, than you shouldn't have posted your mean comment

[@shilohtails6897]

Do you agree with me or the other girl?

[@josiespets6410]

Technically there is no wrong side of a bed. Posting "first comment" is what I found immature not posting a first comment but if you want to post the first comment post something constructive or utile I don't know
