Horse Grooming Supplies - Horses and Their Humans

I grew up on a farm in Idaho, many, many, many years ago. We had horses. Something I learned and never forgot through those years is that special bond that grows between a horse and the human it owns. That's right, the human it owns.

To that end, I was doing some research recently on horse grooming supplies and other retail horse products. When reviewing horse grooming supplies I seemed to be reading the menu of a high end beauty salon and spa. A few shared examples should help to make the point:

Hair extensions for the horse's tail. This is for show horses breeders if the association allows it. These hair extensions compare in price and availability to those from a salon.
Upwards of ten different types and prices of shampoos and conditioners. Some reaching the capability and prices of the high end shampoos and conditioners you would purchase in a salon.
Coat and skin care products formulated to keep the coat shiny and the skin free of unsightly blemishes.
Vitamins for hair growth. This is probably a strategy to not have to pay for hair extensions for the tail.
Highlighters to provide different accents to the horse's coat followed by polishes and shiners for their hooves.
Every brand and price range of clippers and blades that are available for barbers and stylists that do human hair.
Finally, they have vacuums and blowers that compare to any dryers and vacuums in the salon.

From a horse health standpoint, the comparisons are equally as strong. For example:

Fly and pest controls that are all natural with a citrus base rather than a chemical DEET base.
Supplements formulated specifically for young, middle aged or more senior horses.
Aspirin doses developed for daily horse heart care.
Calming aids, digestive aids, immune support and antioxidants, respiratory aids, ulcer and gastric aids.
Horse trainers suggests that books that deal with holistic horse care, feeding herbs to horses and formulations for detoxifying the liver and kidneys.
Finally, they have a natural formulation for those thoroughbred horses lucky enough to be laboring on the stud farms.

Well, I have probably substantiated the original point. Most any health and beauty supplies available to you are also available to the horse that owns you.
