Well just burn a hole in my bank balance, had a trip to Gilkhorn today for some bits and pieces for the weekend and Jean recomended the Supreme products. I normally use the Arena ones but they come direct from the manufacturer so are not so readily available.
Whats your experinces with them do they give a professional finish. I got the white powder for white legs but sounds to fickery having to make a paste. I usually use good old baby powder ;D

I always make a paste now but usually just use the cheaper chalk powder and mix it up in a bowl. Works superbly well, especially as I'm Avon trained (see another thread ;D) and a dab hand with a foundation sponge.
I've found the supreme shiney type products are pricey but very good, especially under lights or in bright sunlight. If it's a dull day you're as well just saving them and using plain old baby oil.

Supreme squirty stain remover is great - it is basically really concentrated shampoo. Dont use their whitener as the sheep whitener from another company is just as good but cheaper.

I've tried their hoof varnish, but it came of in the wet grass, defeating the purpose

i use quite a lot of supreme products,they are very good. paste is very easy you just paste on night before and leave to dry and brush out in morning,lots of folks put bandages on after but i don't.

ive only used the supreme make up (black and brown ones) and thought they were very good if a bit costly. re the white legs, i find it easier to just apply your powder (i use sheep face whitener) straight to wet legs. no need to make up a paste

I like some of their products but I would never buy their black hoof gloss again. Roody ended up with black fetlocks at Blair last year

I won a hamper full of stuff from them a couple of years ago. Some of it I love, other stuff I dont. There's 2 sprays Im not sure about, they're meant as a "2 step" sort of idea for coat shine. You spray stuff on first, then the next one over the top to "seal" the hair, but I could never get the balance right and the hair would rise up! I think it's the Coat Gloss which is meant to be followed with the Spray & Shine, but I found the latter worked well on its own. I like their "Sparkle" for tails. And might buy that again. And the Easy Plait is quite good. It is pricey, but my stuff seems to have lasted AGES. Except for the shampoo which got spilt within the first week So it has bits of dirt in it where I tried to scoop it back up!

I swear by a few of the items..........the white powder great and as is the Sparkle for legs/tails highlighting !! I use the coat gloss also. Agree with Welshcob - they last for ages as you don't need to use alot to get the effect......hence the cost goes farther !!

iv used the chestnut shampoo and it was amazing ready brought out he shine and red highlighs
i also like the black hoof stain i put it on the night before and then a top up at home before i go to the show and its great it stays on for ages and the arean doesn stick to it although it isnt shiny like an oil would be.
i also have the highlighter clear stuff for eyes and nose but i find the dust pure sticks to it - but then i might not be putting it on right duhhh ha ha
equimins has simelar stuff too id like to try
