Keeping the White Pony White

I'm lucky, Penny is naturally stain resistant and not a fan of getting dirty in general. Alas, she's still a mare so her tail is not.

Here's what I do to keep her white tail white:

Tail maintenence (done as needed:)
Wet tail
Apply Quiksilver shampoo and lather. I've tried other types of whitening shampoo, nothing is as good or rinses as easily.
Let sit
Rinse
Coat liberally with Eqyss Megatek Rebuilder. Do not rinse.
Braid.

If it's stained, repeat weekly


If we're showing:
Wet tail
Apply Quiksilver
Let sit
Rinse
Condition
Let sit
Rinse
Spray with Vetrolin Shine
When dry, comb.

I don't use Quiksilver on her body, as the one time I did she got hives. I use Eqyss Premier Shampoo there (makes her look awesome) and finish up with a apple cider vinegar rinse.
