As you may know, I am a firm believer that the proper nutritional supplementation, on top of basic good health care, can actually help your horse to grow out its mane to a length and thickness that will amaze everyone who sees it. I've written on this subject myself in a number of places. Leave it to my mom, though, to come up with the best general introduction to the use of supplements for extraordinary mane growth:
Nutrients to Improve Your Horse's Mane
by Sarah Sandori
As serious horse owners and ring competitors, we devote a great deal of time to making our horse's mane as gorgeous as possible.
Now, many people might consider this obsession with manes to be frivolous. But we (my family and I) are completely serious about it. In our experience, having a horse with a long, thick, flowing mane will win the prize over a horse that may technically be more in line with standards, but that has an unremarkable mane.
Good basic grooming is important to bringing out the best of your horse's mane. It need not stop there, though, and in my opinion should not stop there. Take the subject of nutrition. Did you know that you can often dramatically increase the appearance of a horse's mane, tail, and overall coat by supplying selected dietary supplements, most of which are quite inexpensive and easily obtained?
Even if your goal is not to stun people with the beauty of your horse, the right nutritional supplements can prevent definite faults such as a brittle mane, or bald patches.
Flax seed is one of the best of all supplements to give a horse, in that it promotes all-around hair growth. Cider vinegar is another great addition to the diet, for general health and for preventing certain diseases.
Does your horse frequently scratch itself against objects, wearing its hair off in spots? A garlic supplement will control the itching and reduce or eliminate such scratching.
If you want a genuine super nutrient to give your horse, try biotin. This is a vitamin crucial to cell production throughout the body, and is particularly vital if you want your horse to have great hair.
All of these nutrients can help your horse's mane to look both thicker and healthier. Why not give them a try?
Is it really possible to take an average looking horse and grow a long, thick, flowing mane on it -- in a matter of mere months? Yes, it is. And it will give you an edge in the competition ring.
Beautifying a horse in this way has also proved profitable for a number of savvy horse people. These are the folks who will buy a mediocre animal, then apply the secret methods that spur the mane to burst forth in long, cascading locks, creating a real "fairy tale" horse. They then easily re-sell the horse for much more than they paid, making a nice profit for themselves.
Of course, most horse owners learn the secrets of growing amazing manes simply for the pleasure it affords them.
My own daughter, Lacy, has become obsessed with figuring out how to increase the length and thickness of her horses' manes. She has compiled some of what she has learned, along with valuable horse grooming and care advice, at her site on Beautifying A Horse's Mane.
