No. 1 Light Oil is a fine conditioning oil for the coat and skin. It adds a light shine to the coat as it smoothes and softens the hair. It adds a fine layer of oil to dry skin or coat to replenish and make skin and hair healthy again. It detangles manes and tails without leaving them sticky or gummy feeling and allows tough knots to slip out with ease.
No. 1 Light Oil is a favorite of breed shows for adding definition to and accentuating the horse’s face and head. Top groomers and hair coat perfectionists use No. 1 Oil in their daily grooming routines to stimulate and add vitality and pizzazz to the horse’s coat, skin, mane and tail.
No. 1 Light Oil is used to make shedding out winter coats easy and quick. It also helps in pulling manes if added to the base of the mane. Used for both these purposes, No. 1 Light Oil allows the hair follicle to slip out without irritating the skin. It is perfect for sensitive horses.
To use either apply with your hands and/or towel or put into a spray bottle and spray horse lightly from several inches away.
No. 1 Light Oil is available in a 32 oz bottle.

- To accentuate and add shine to the body, pour the No. 1 Light Oil into a spray container and spray lightly over the horse for incredible shine.
- Rub a little of the No. 1 Oil onto your hands and then run your hands gently through your horse’s mane and tail to accentuate and add shine to the hair. Use sparingly to not weigh the hair down.
