how do you apply pig oil?

[Bedrockshetlands]

I have seen it used as a show shine, usually under lights in an evening performance to give a wet look. Applied with a sponge and mixed with water - but I think this would only work on a very fine, VERY clean coat and if you got the mix absolutely spot on. I wouldn't want to use oil on the coat in warmer weather as there is a risk of burning. Its very good for keeping mane, tail and feather during winter months though

Anything oil based attracts dust and lifts dirt out of the coat. For the best shine apply copious amounts of show sheen to a just bathed, still damp coat and rug over (avoiding tack areas) then you can give them another little spray just before they go in. The non oil based products actually stop dust sticking.

" how do you apply pig oil".......

Perhaps a "swine" of a job, but "snout" to it, apply it like an "oinkment".

Agree with above- wouldn't use it is on show days as it can cause dirt to rise and cause tide marks!
Great for winter time to keep hair and tail better and help prevent mud fever ;D

I have mine in a spray bottle and put it on the horses mane, tail and feathers the night before a show I also put a little round their bum and round the hock the night before (espeically if there light coloured) so if they poo it doesn't stain into the coat.

I use it on feathers but have never used it on a coat
