Shapleys No.1 Light Oil

This works beautifully without leaving your horse sticky or slick.

This oil does exactly what I wanted it to do (and more!). My mares tail gets dried out and brittle at the ends, and I use a light oil to make it smooth and easier to brush out instead of constantly applying a silicone-based detangler. Ive found it also does a nice job of conditioning her skin in a couple places where it gets dry and flaky, and really does help pick up surface dust and leave the coat with marvelous shine. HOWEVER, Ive removed one star because this is all after I bought a different spray nozzle. The one it comes packaged with simply cannot handle the oil. Squeeze, get one spray, then wait 30 seconds for it to re-set for a second spray? NO THANKS. Dropping $5 on a higher-end spray nozzle (intended for essential oils) was definitely worth it for my sanity!

This product if you was lightly is good and gives you a great shine and condition however, it would be a lot better if they took the perfume out. It’s very pungent and I can’t stand the smell. Won’t order again.

I like it sooth my furry baby skin & calms him down with hit spots he happy . That all that matters to me . Shih Tzu ! His skin is so irritated by other products this one works for him

I ordered light oil for one of my sorrel geldings. He has pretty bad dry skin and constantly has rain rot or something on his skin. I started using light oil 1 month ago and the condition of his skin is much better!!!!! The sprayer however sucks! After about the second use it broke. Otherwise very happy and it made one of my other old men (32years) look very good after a body clip!

I purchased this to oil buff my horse as his coat had been looking a little dull. Not only did this bring out the dapples in his coat, but it really does repel the dirt. My guy normally comes in with mud on him in various spots and I went out to visit him a few days after oil buffing him to find only one spot of dirt and I was able to wipe it away with just my hand. (yes.. it had recently rained) Im annoyed at myself for not taking a before and after, but I really didnt expect the difference to be that noticeable but it was!

Works very well to condition and smooth my Lusitano’s long mane and tail. Bought off of a recommendation from a professional groom on Tiktok. It imparts a sparkly shine to my gelding’s white mane and tail. Also fabulous to “oil buff” coat to repel dirt and dust. Put a few drops in a bucket of warm water and saturate a microfiber cloth. Wring out and buff into horse’s coat avoiding the saddle area. A great tiare flower scent as well!

Gorgeous shine! Wow wow wow!!! Dont over apply and you will be amazed. Also, I wouldnt apply on the day of a show, leave yourself a couple of days to even out any dry/oily spots. But feel free to rub into tails prior to entering the arena for an amazing shine! The only complaint I have is that it smells like a funeral home.... would like an unscented version.

I like the weight of the oil. I like that it helps my horses dry coat in the summer. I do not like that the 2 bottles that I bought with spray nozzles will not dispense the oil. It clogs up. I had to use other methods for application.

I read the reviews so I went to the hair supply store and bought a hair professional spray bottle for $2.96. Worked like a charm. I did a treatment yesterday without the sprayer (bought it today) and it was difficult. Today it sprayed evenly and all knots in his mane combed through. I liked the rose scent and my quarter horse didnt seem to mind at all. Tomorrow Ill work on his tail. I will buy again.
