Star Iceys come in all "flavors" except Appaloosa. My friend has a black/white pinto and a cremello. True about no returning after leaving Iceland. They have minimal disease exposure there; any returning horse could bring germs that might decimate the population. IPM

Well, you are right on both counts. He isn't a very big horse, and I am a pretty big guy. ;-) He is about 14.1 which is above the norm for Iceys, and it took some work and some age to get him so thick. He was a pretty gangly gelding for a while, and he needs grain when it gets cold because he doesn't mind being skinny and hay just isn't interesting enough to him... IcePonyMom is right - there is no re-admittance for horses that leave Iceland.

I found something that might help get the manes & tails white. My jack russell dog got sprayed by a skunk and I looked up a potion that takes the odor away. It really did work. It was a quart of peroxide, l/4 cup of baking soda, and 2 T of Dawn dish liquid. (Then you bathe the dog in dog shampoo). But anyways it got the dog snow white and when I got done the stained white sink (in basement) was white! So I am thinking of trying this out on my horses tail. Anyone ever used this before?

Try old fashioned laundry bluing in your rinse water to really make them white. Go very sparingly though, or you could turn them blue. I tried it in rinse water in laundry thinking that if a few drops worked, then a lot more would work better. Wrong. Turned a lot of things blue.

As you all probably know I have been on a quest to find something that works really well at cutting the yellow urine stain from Mira's tail. Well I did !! I bought a laundry additive called "White Brite" and put about 3 tbls in some warm water (its a powder) then added it to my blueing shampoo, put it on just the tail hair (I did not want to get any on the tailbone or skin) this stuff bubbled up when I added it to the water. Shampooed it in the tail and braided it up for 30 min then rinsed it out, it was the whitest prettiset tail I have seen on her in years, and I was washing her tail every other day for a while with no improvement. I was so tickled this morning looking at her beautiful tail again ! I would not put this stuff on the other white parts like legs or markings I think it might be to strong, it has a warning of eye, skin & vapor irritant and to use gloves, duh no wonder my hands were stripped dry for two days, but oddley enough her tail hair did not feel stripped like some of the other products I have tried have left it feeling.

My GREAT idea is to use a bottle of Clariol, Black works best. That way you don't have to worry about manure stains just white roots. LOL.l1 Just joking as my horse has a lot of white also. But she has a black tail for which I am thankful. I haven't found it in a while but I used Wonder Blue. I now use shampoo for grey hair. And before you all get on my case about using people shampoo, I delute it in water and have warm water in our barn to rinse her off and get all the residue. I then tie her up so that she will dry. Make sure that you wash your brushes or you will get her dirty again. After she is dry, I brush her and then let her go. For some reason, she doesn't roll after she is dry. Different story if she is wet.

Yeah when I was looking for a spotted TWH the lady I was taking lessons from told me if you can find one with a black tail your better off, and she stated for that very reason, staining. I also use a human leave in rinse for white/gray hair to, it does help some too. But it was not to be, she had a white tail but black privates which I would rather have than the pink, and until she developed the urine pooling problem I could keep her tail nice with just weekly shampooing.
