English/ western?


I have a black QH mare i showed :) i made her stand out by bathing the night before , sheeting through the night, banding/ braiding?, next i use "show sheen" or oil based horse stuff lol and towel down after fly spraying and after every class apply a bit of stuff to a towel and reapply :)


Hope this help some :)
