Clean Tough Old Urine, Manure & Clay Stains Off Horses & Ponies

Tough ‪#‎ urine‬, ‪#‎ manure‬ or ‪#‎ clay‬ ‪#‎ STAINS‬??? So often I see that deep yellow or red and feel so bad. Why? Because, I can tell they TRIED SO HARD.

Add typical stain, shine and/or detangling products, and hair discolors even more. Of course, a dirty stall leaves the horse no choice. Nonetheless, that cycle of one perpetual pesky stin can be broken. I promise.
