Tips & Warnings
If you want to, you can buy a couple of tubs of hair gel and different coloured glitter. With these you can make patterns on your horses coat, or you can make a multicoloured mane masterpiece! You can even buy a stencil to make patterns with the glitter gel on your horses rump. you can buy these stencils in shapes such as stars or checkers, at any craft shop. To make the patterns last longer, spray some human hair spray over the top of the glitter to set it in place.
Another idea is to mix loose glitter into coat polish or even water and spray it on with a spray bottle. This creates a fine glittery mist on your horses mane, tail coat and legs. Just make sure that the glitter doesn’t clog up your spray bottle! You can also add some washable, non toxic poster paint to the water if you want to add colour. Just make sure it is horse friendly before you use it.
To remove the glitter, all you need to do is wash it off. If it is too cold to give your horse a bath, use a bucket of warm water and a sponge instead. Make sure you cool off your horse thoroughly before you put him back in his stall or pasture.
Make sure that horse glitter gel isn't illegal at any shows that you and your horse participate in. It is not commonly seen in formal shows, but will often be seen at informal shows such as gymkhanas. You can be disqualified if you use horse body glitter because at some formal shows because it can distract the judge and make it more difficult for the judge to see certain aspects of your presentation, especially in rail classes.
