Kim Prince, USET Championship Teams

Hey Ruthann, I just want to thank you for your post a little while ago about pulling your horse's mane. My horse doesn't like her mane pulled, so I have been using a razor blade. But she still did not like it at all. After reading your post that suggested doing very small groups of hair at a time, I tried doing that and it really made my girl feel better. She actually relaxed and almost fell asleep while I was doing her mane. And she let me do her forelock. It became a bonding opportunity for both of us. So I just want to say thanks for the helpful suggestion :)

Sand Colored Horse Beautiful Shine Horse Shampoo

Hi Ruth Ann I wanted to just say thank you and I love your shampoo. I got a rescue pony mare a couple months a go that was in rough shape, I gave her a bath today with your shampoo and the results speak for themselves! When I got the mare she was caked in mud, her tail was solid poo, dandruff covered, under weight and was just gross in general. She is still a work in progress but this is her today.

Beautiful White Horse Shine Shampoo

Just have to say thank you to Lucky Braids for your wonderful products! I only use your shampoo and spray and I had more than 4 people come up to me at the last show to ask what I use to get him so clean. Good products plus everyday grooming can't be beat.

I used lucky braids shampoo for the first time two weeks ago. Two baths later, my horses skin and coat are so much improved, I'm sold! No more itching and bald patches!! I love it! Thank you!

Beautiful Horse Tail Shampoo

Found my new favorite product. Lucky Braids for Top Turnout has an all in one shampoo. After just one use, his hair looks like a million dollars. Cyclone's tail had been very long from me keeping it in a braid all the time but thin so i cut it and kept it down for the last few months and have not touched it. Lately he has been rubbing it and its been a snarled mess. Well, I just washed it with the all in one shampoo and picked it wet like the instructions said and omg.... wow!!

Mindy Comeau

Beautiful Horse Running Shampoo

Hi, I absolutely love Lucky Braids All in one Shampoo, easy to use and results are outstanding! And it saves me a lot of scrubbing time, so easy! Thank You for making such a great product!

Penny Oneson-Dobas

Beautiful Horses Playing Jumping Shampoo

I have a paint with a lot of white (mane also) where I used to spent a ton on whitening shampoo and shine spray to keep him clean, a silver dapple pinto mini that itched so badly, she scratched her legs raw and a friesian with a tangling mane and tail and areas with dandruff who used up a bottle of conditioner for each bath. The Lucky braids shampoo works MIRACLES on all 3. My mini no longer has sores and itching all day, her silver white mane and tail are SPARKLING, and they are super soft, no longer feel like "old Barbie doll hair". Brushing my friesian's mane and tail using your brushing technique is a breeze and I no longer pull out any hair, not a single strand! My paint is white where he needs to be and both of the boys are staying much cleaner even with daily rolling in their sand pit, the dandruff is reduced on the friesian and I'm no longer worried about scratches either. Plus it saves me SO much time! The suds rinse out super fast and I no longer have to shampoo, rinse, condition, wait, rinse, spray etc etc. Just shampoo and rinse! LOVE THIS!

Beautiful Long Horse Tail Shampoo

Example of a lucky braids tail! I only use lucky braids on my horses. Chloe's tail extends to about 10' long and is so thick I have to use two braids to keep that hair under control. Lucky Braids shampoo and handy salve has helped make the most chronic tail rubber stop rubbing their tail!

Despite good grooming and having tried all medications and shampoos. Lucky Braids Shampoo is the ONLY thing that solved our issues with sensitive skin and chronic hair loss. The hair grows in very fine and rich in color.

Mary Anne Minor, Mgr. Beacon Hill

We used Corona for 10 years. After first trying Lucky Braids Shampoo there was a 100% difference. Coats are easy to clean, requiring less time--Tails were even bigger. We were going to use a fake tail, but with just 2 baths with the Lucky Braids Shampoo. We don't need a fake tail!

Israel Hernandez, Mgr., Davlyn Farms

We use Lucky Braids products. Our horse's full tails are gorgeous. White and sensitive legs get sprayed before they go out to help repel dirt. Initially we used the Salve on scratches and they were better in a day. We also find it effective for treating tail rubbing and scrapes to heal skin and grow hair back quickly.

Thanks to your DVD and your extremely helpful comments last week, I received many, many compliments on my braiding job at an un-rated show yesterday!! Was told that my braids were gorgeous and that I'm ready to do my own braiding for my hunter for HITS Saugerties!!! HURRAY!!!

Jane Dihn

Good morning Ruthann...got the video and tool...and I must say I learned a lot more than I thought I would (not as a cut to you but I have been braiding for years myself) your speed amazed me.....I was also surprised to find that you avoid hair sprays, gels, etc. or do you use them at times. I still would love to attend a clinic...so hopefully you will be near NC sometime in the future. Thanks again...I am going to go practice as we have a show next weekend....

Ginny

Yesterday the dog was sick - I mean colossally sick - all over a lovely old cowhide that graces our dining room floor. What to do? It was time for the big guns! I dragged it outside by two fingers, along with the Lucky Braids Shampoo! Figured if it was good enough for show horses, it would work on the remains of a cow. It did; dried lustrous, soft and shiny. The rug is back in situ and even the dog is feeling better now. Thanks for a great product!

Lee McLean

We found that Lucky Braids by Ruth­ann Shampoo actually improves the texture of the mane and tail for braiding by adding conditioning agents that help to repair dam­age and detangle the hair. Aloe vera adds natural texture and grip to the mane, so it can be braided directly after washing. It also reduces drying and discomfort in the hair—a com­mon side effect of a dirty mane—that can encourage the horse to rub.”

Horse Shampoo....I did a test yesterday between the 2 most suggested shampoos and I was totally disappointed with one of them. Lucky Braids for Top Turnout is far superior than the other one tested. I wish I hadn't spent the money to try it out. I had to scrub three times as much and it still did not get the pony near as clean as Lucky Braids. I won't be branching out again!

Sarah Espinoza-Sokal

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your shampoo!! I've always had to keep my boys mane braided because as soon as he would shake his head, his entire mane would be in one giant knot. I started using your shampoo and for the first time in 6 years, I was able to keep his mane down. This was taken on Thursday, his mane hadn't been braided in a week and I didn't brush it. This was after he played and rolled in the arena as well.

Gonna be buying alot come spring time for training and shows!! Your Salve is wonderful too. It has helped the dogs, horses and even my cuts to heal and the animals to get some itch relief. ur supplies!!

Ashley Nelson

Hi Ruthann! I just bought your shampoo, and am so impressed with how clean and shiny my horse was after just one use. And his tail looked so full! He's an OTTB, and while his condition and coat have just blossomed with care, his tail has been slower to develop. But it is really looking great now, so THANK YOU! Love your posts, btw, so thanks again!

Mandy Izzo

Just wanted to post that I have a VERY sensitive OTTB that is really thin skinned. He's always been good about grooming but prefers soft rubber curries and brushes ... nothing hard or stiff. BUT his favorite part of grooming BY FAR is when I walk around him dabbing the Lucky Braids Handy Salve on any scrapes, scruff, or on his belly center line. He literally drops his head and almost goes to sleep. I can only assume it feels great!

Love the shampoo and the Handy Salve! the open sore that had been on my hand that refused to heal has healed up within 10 days. my gelding no longer rubs his tail. i adore the products!

Kell Briggs

I used your shampoo for the first time this evening. I LOVE IT!!! His coat was so clean, soft, and shiny. I don't think I have ever even seen such white socks! I am a true believer and I am now addicted to this shampoo.

Lisa Bell-Boyer

Had a horse show yesterday and had compliments on my mostly white pinto. So glad I added ur shampoo and whitening spray to my grooming routine. He looked so handsome and white and shiny.

Ashley Nelson

I have a bay/brown mare & people always comment on how clean she is. I recently washed a 32 year old grey that has been retired in the paddock for a decade with Lucky Braids for Top Turnout shampoo, OMG! The horse glowed white, the results were amazing! Cannot recommend your product enough, especially impressed on results for greys & pallys. Thanks.

Jana Lyle Ellerbusch

I just received my shampoo and have to comment. I've tried it on 3 horses, and I'm impressed. I love the clean rinse out. At first, I didn't think the hair felt "conditioned", but once the horses were dry, hair was clean, soft and full. I'm an advocate of good nutrition, good grooming and no products. My horses are super shiny, the All in One shampoo just adds to that. Thanks, Ruthann. Great product!

Jennifer J. Chadfield

I thought I would update you to let you know how my horse's scrape is doing. I started putting the Handy Salve on the area a week ago (when it arrived in the mail) and it had no hair at all, and was red and sore from sunburn. Within two days, the scrape had hair growing sparsely, and it is now totally covered by growing hairs! It is also not red anymore. I am so impressed, and have been applying the Salve to other nicks on my horse, as well as to his tailbone to prevent him rubbing which he tends to do when the flies come out this time of year. Thank you for the awesome products!

Hannah Nickeson

One of my horses had a terrible problem with rubbing her mane and tail for years (especially in the summer), and up until I purchased this product, I couldn't find a solution. And believe me, I tried EVERYTHING. I was honestly a little skeptical, but after the first use, the rubbing stopped immediately, and I didn't notice any signs of further irritation for at least a month. Then, I applied it again and the rubbing stopped for good. This stuff is worth every penny, and a little goes a long way, so it really is cost effective. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Nisa, Idaho

This is less than 24 hours later, after my irish got attacked by nike the gelding. this was taken with my cell phone, and not a really good quality. but i have never seen my horse with her legs so shinny before! hallelujah, i know this is the real deal! if my horse hated baths before, she loves them now, with this product! she nearly fell asleep, even when i walked away, she was very content. my horse has been known to pull when getting a bath, but this time... she just fell asleep, as i walked away. some times you dont always know what horses are trying to tell you, but i figured it out this time! this is a very very happy shiny horse, right here! so very proud of her legs!

Anna Oaks

Love the shampoo. I was skeptical at first because my horses hair felt strange after I washed it, but after brushing completely it dried so nice and stays separated and nice for days!
