Smart Grooming Leg & Body Whitener Clay Powder
Description
Smart Grooming Leg & Body Whitener — Clay-Based Show Whitening Powder
Smart Grooming Leg & Body Whitener is a clay-based grooming powder that produces a bright, opaque white finish on horses' legs, socks and other white areas. It is designed for riders preparing for showing classes, in-hand classes or any occasion where a crisp white marking matters.
The formula blends Kaolin and Bentonite clays with Titanium Dioxide. It can be applied dry with a damp sponge for speed, or mixed with water into a paste and brushed on where you need accuracy — and left under bandages overnight when a deeper level of whitening is wanted.

FAQ
What is Smart Grooming Leg & Body Whitener made from?
It is a clay-based powder containing Kaolin, Bentonite and Titanium Dioxide. The clays form the body of the product and the Titanium Dioxide provides the bright, opaque white finish.
How do I apply it?
There are two methods. Use the powder with a damp sponge for quick, general coverage, or mix it with water to form a paste that can be brushed on for more precise application around socks and markings.
Can I leave it on overnight?
Yes. After applying, the legs can be bandaged overnight to enhance the whitening effect. Remove the bandages in the morning and brush out any excess powder.
How do I remove the excess powder?
Simply brush the area through with a body brush once the product has done its work. This lifts any loose powder and leaves a clean, even finish.
Which areas can I use it on?
It is intended for legs, socks and other white areas of the coat where whitening is wanted. Coverage can be controlled from a light dusting to fuller opacity.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The powder can be used on horses and ponies of any type or size, as you apply only as much as the marking needs.
