Reina, Baymule’s Horse

I went to Kemp, Tx this morning, just south of Dallas. I bought a horse out of a kill pen and went and picked her up. I’ve named her Reina, it means Queen in Spanish. She is a 12 year old Missouri Fox Trotter, Palomino in color. Looks like her mane and tail is white. Dirty and a matted mess...

Anybody got any ideas on how to get the Matt’s out of her mane without pulling the hair out?

Lots of conditioner

Coconut or olive oil will also work.

Oodles... use lots and lots and kneed it through, then slowly untangle/brush out using a pick or wide tooth comb

Might need to let the oil/conditioner sit in it a bit.

I used Mane & Tail conditioner and their detangler, two different products. I'd give a bath, overload the detangler product (it's thick) and work with fingers, then a wide tooth comb. Rinse some out, leave some in and it would soak into the hair. The results kept it laying nice, silky and reduced the breakage. It tamed the wild foal hair from rock star to show horse. . You may need another bath in couple days but worth it. Hey, warm there still.

WD40 works but not the hair damage cure of the detangler. Plus the smell!

Baby oil. That's basically what detangler is, but cost a LOT more. The conditioner before and after will help, at least it does wonders for my beard.

Baby oil.

Yep - that's what I've used in the past. However, I've found that some matts are just a mess of wadded up, already broken hair and you'll lose some of it anyway. Hope hers works out easily and you don't lose a bunch of it.

Absorbine Show Sheen - makes things really slick without being sticky. It might help.
