DIY Horse Shampoo (For Greys)

Hello! I'm going to try and teach you how to make your own horse shampoo!

(This is just a suggestion and I'm sure everyone has their own concoction! Also, you want to patch test this on your horse to make sure that they aren't allergic to any of the contents.)

What you will need:

• Blue washing up liquid (Sainsbury's) (If you don't have a grey just use a standard clear washing up liquid)
• Human shampoo (Herbal essences)
• Human 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner (Tresemme)
• An empty bottle (I used an old radox showel gel bottle)

Obviously, you do not need to use these exact brands but these are the ones which I find good.

Now this can get a little messy so I suggest putting a towel down or doing it in a bath. 

1. Firstly, take the empty bottle and take the cap off.

2. Add around 180mls of the washing up liquid.

3. Then add 50mls of the shampoo.

4. Finally, add 40mls of 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner.

5. Optional - I added more washing up liquid to fill the bottle (around 40mls). 

6. Then you need to shake! And shake! And shake! (Like seriously!) If you have a wide necked bottle I would suggest whisking it with a spoon or fork.

Now, lastly, you may want to label your bottle of new shampoo. And then you are good to go!

NEWS! :O

Hello!
So, the excitement can be unleashed now! Blue is coming back to me! In
around 4 weeks Blue shall be travelling up to me and staying at nearby
stables. I am absolutely over the moon about it! I have many rants,
first of which is where he shall be staying and its awesome
facilities.

Stables, individual paddocks, tack room, a HUGE outdoor school (with
drainage!) and miles and miles of hacking, is all offered where Blue
will be. I will be getting grass livery with access to the school.
This means that I can properly jump Blue, though, I'm not sure
lumbering over 2ft fences is classed as jumping but it sure is fun.

I've never liveried before so this shall be an interesting world to
step into and I'm sure once adjusted I will be super happy with the
new found socializing. I can't wait to get him here and get him
sorted, its going to be hard work though, the stables leaves you
responsible for your paddocks mucking out. So, between work, uni,
riding and mucking out I will be exhausted for the majority of the
time.

There are plenty of horses there, though I think I am the only grass
livery (most live out at night anyway) but Blue won't have a shortage
of buddies and it doesn't seem like I won't make some new equestrian
friends. Seems like there will always be company to go out with, which
is nice, especially as I do not know the area.

I am so excited for the next chapter for me and Blue, this has given
me a huge amount to talk about so I shall be reinstating some kind of
blogging on a regular basis. I haven't decided how often or on which
days but in the next few weeks keep an eye of for new blogs. There is
a huge plan in place for transport which I shall post about, also,
packing his stuff up, welcoming him into the yard, his shoes and
injections and my daily plans with him.

Thanks for reading, wishing you all the best
