Ridecamp: Re: [RC] Whitening horse tail hair

Tara...

    Here's a dog handlers tip on whitening hair (use on tear stains around
dogs eyes, carefully).  I've used it on my white mane and tails with alot of
sucess too.

    Mix 1 part peroxide and 1 part Milk of Magnesia
    Mix corn starch in with this until it is getting thick but still wet
    Pack this mixture in the dirty area overnight
    I then wrap the tail with saran wrap or put it in a baggie and tape it
up to keep it in there.
    Rinse it out the next day.   I repeat if I want it whiter.

    I don't claim to know why the combination works... but was given the
recipe by an older handler, and have used it for years.

Good Luck
Linda
