Yeah blue rinse does make grannys hair go blue! I read somewhere that human blue rinses are used to get greys gleaming! But id rather buy a product especially for equines, will look into getting your reccommended shampoo if blue wash fails!
Thanks

I use a purple shampoo and i have tried loads!!! Find this the best used with a bit of dettol in the hot water. Will find out the name if you like i know it is about 12 pounds for quite a big bottle. My pony loves lying in poo and i find this normally works

There used to be a little blue bag that you could add to your washing [before days of bio powder etc] to make your whites whiter. It was called Ricketts Blue bag and was brilliant for making white brighter and it was used over and over again yet cost pennies. I cannot buy that any longer so now I use blue food colouring in the rinse water - far cheaper than all these fancy products.

I will try the food dye if not it will have to be DAZ, the ads say it gets your whites gleaming!!!!

I agree with Karen, my little 'fairy' works wonders on Chase's white socks and also net curtain whitener for the final rinse works well also for tails.

I have used hydrogen peroxide diluted 1:10 on a tail spraying it on with a spray-bottle on to dry tail then washing it out. Works well with mares tails.
It certainly turns my fingers white! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ive tried Daz, Net Curtain Whitener, Stain Removers, Fairy! and none of which managed to get Tilly's feathers white. Ive pruchased some EquineBlue powder so hopefully this will work! Never heard of putting food colouring into the water but i wish i tried it before buying some EquineBlue. Thanks for all the replies I will let you know if the stuff works!!

After we wash Chases's feathers in 'fairy' I paint chalk onto them, make your chalk into a paste, then apply to the feathers. White leg pads and bandage up the night before. touch up with dry chalk the next day if needed, always works for us.

sounds like hard work, think I might swap Ghost for a chestnut, much easier
