What is Cowboy Magic ® and who makes it?
Cowboy Magic ® is a line of high-quality equine grooming products including shampoos, conditioners, and finishing sprays and gels. It was originally founded by Jim and Charlotte Cummings in 1979, and is now part of Straight Arrow Products, Inc., the makers of "Mane n Tail." Its products have been setting the standard in coat, mane, and tail care for over 30 years.
What is Cowboy Magic ® best known for?
Its star product is the concentrated Detangler & Shine gel, which created the detangler category and remains the leading detangler and shine product for horses. It contains no water or alcohol, so it does not dry the hair. A small amount about the size of a nickel, massaged into wet or dry hair, instantly detangles and deep conditions while repelling dirt, dust, and sand for a longer-lasting shine.
How do I keep show ring dust off my horse's coat?
Cowboy Magic® Super Bodyshine® is formulated to give hair a super shine while helping repel show ring and stable stall dust so it is harder for dust to collect on the coat. It dries fast, reflects a full spectrum of light for maximum body shine under sun or show ring lights, and contains Aloe Vera to strengthen and condition hair and skin. It is concentrated, ready to use, and will not become gummy or sticky after days of use.
How can I remove manure and urine stains from my horse?
Cowboy Magic® Greenspot Remover can help remove urine, manure, and other spots instantly. Sometimes called "Shower in a Bottle," it is made from expensive, natural, non-sudsing plant-derived cleaners that break down and dissolve manure, urine, dirt, and sweat. It also adds silk, panthenol, and shea butter so you can brush up a shine after drying. Use a damp towel to activate the ingredients, then follow with a dry towel.
What removes yellow stains from a white or light-colored horse?
Cowboy Magic® Shine in YellowOut ™ neutralizes yellow stains and brightens hair of all colors, including black, white, chestnut, bay brown, roan, palomino, and paint. Apply it to wet hair and massage in until the blue suds turn white, soak for two to five minutes, then rinse well and repeat if necessary. For stubborn stains, try Greenspot Remover® first, then reapply YellowOut™ per the directions.
What does the Rosewater Shampoo and Conditioner do?
Cowboy Magic® Concentrated Rosewater Shampoo uses fast-working ingredients to break down dirt without damaging hair, while panthenol and silk protein deep-condition the skin and silk molecules reflect light for a rich, natural shine. The Rosewater Conditioner dissolves the mineral and chemical buildup left by water, leaving hair in an ultra-clean, almost virgin state. Because both are highly concentrated, a small amount goes a long way.
Can Cowboy Magic ® products be used on people?
Yes. Cowboy Magic® notes that its grooming formulas work on people too, and the double-rich Rosewater Shampoo can be compared with popular, expensive salon-only shampoos. The Detangler & Shine is described as a high-quality cosmetic that is great for little girls with long hair and adults of all ages, and the Greenspot Remover is handy for campers and mountain bikers who want to clean up using very little water.
