Description
Shapley's Original M-T-G Plus - Skin Health & Hair Growth for Manes and Tails
Shapley's Original M-T-G Plus is a liquid skin and hair care product for horses and ponies that combines the time-tested Original M-T-G formula with a new light herbal fragrance. It is best for owners who want to support skin health while encouraging thicker, longer manes and tails, and who prefer a fresher scent than the original.
The formula calms the skin while conditioning both skin and hair. Applied weekly, it helps maintain a hygienic environment around the hair follicle for maximum growth, and keeps the hair shaft soft and pliable so there is minimum breakage. Users report up to three inches of growth on manes and tails in a single month.
