I already use all your grooming products and love them will the black diamond shampoo be good for my blue roan with black mane and tail?

Do I understand the directions correctly? I do not wet my horse before applying shampoo?

Asked by: SuzyJ
Hello, The horse will need to be rinsed prior to the use of this shampoo. Rinsing the horse will allow for the removal of excess dirt. Thank You, SCAHealth

While enhancing the black hairs, will this product stain the white hairs of a blue roan?

Asked by: Stern0md

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing product!This stuff actually works! It helped restore my sunbleached mare black coat back to its natural color within a couple of washes! I noticed the difference within the first wash. Left her coat feeling amazing and looked stunning at APHA World show. Couldn’t be happier!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Black shinesWe got this for our sale horses to help get the shine on. It works. First photo shows her 2 weeks before the sale without the shampoo and the second shows her with the black diamond...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW it works!My lovely OTTB has a tendency to really lighten up in the spring and summer, even though he wears a fly sheet. I’ve tried other brands and while they make him pretty, the effects don’t seem to last more than a day or two. Black Diamond shampoo keeps my boy from looking like a muddy chestnut for about a week after each wash. It’s the perfect amount of time for keeping him handsome at shows because I don’t have to wake up at 4am to bathe him before dressage or show jumping. Another Ultra Cruz WIN!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Santa Cruz Animal Health - Equine Black DiamondI got a sample of this at my vet's office for my horse thinking it wouldn't really do anything because I had tried others and they didn't really do anything. This shampoo though made my horse look slick and super super soft, he immediately looked better and even when he dried, it made him look amazing. Super great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally a black shampoo that works well!!This is the only blackening shampoo on the market that doesn’t dye everything else (hands, arms, staining shirts) when using it. I love that SC has come up with a black shampoo gentle enough to use every week and it works, even better than the more expensive products on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE This Shampoo!I am a HUGE fan of the Ultra Cruz shampoo, so I decided to give this version a try for my dark chocolate palomino. It worked miracles and brought out his dark areas and stripes along with the perfect clean of the Ultra Cruz products. I love how easy they are to wash out!
