Cowboy Magic Horse Care & Grooming | Emmers Equestrian
Cowboy Magic is an American grooming brand, part of the family-owned Straight Arrow group (also behind Mane 'n Tail), built around a handful of products that each solve a specific grooming problem rather than one all-purpose formula. At Emmers, that means Detangler & Shine, Super Bodyshine, Rosewater Shampoo, Greenspot Remover and Shine In Yellow Out, and because several come in similar-looking spray bottles, it's worth knowing what each one actually does before reaching for it.
The easiest way to tell them apart is by job:
- Detangler & Shine is a leave-in spray for working out knots and mats in mane, tail and coat
- While Super Bodyshine is a finishing spray used alongside it for extra gloss, it is not instead of it.
- Greenspot Remover is a no-rinse spot cleaner for manure, urine, or sweat marks, popular with grey and white horse owners for quick touch-ups.
- Shine In Yellow Out is a rinse-off shampoo built specifically to lift yellow staining, and Rosewater Shampoo is the gentler, everyday wash-off option for a normal bath.
Tips for Choosing
- Reach for Detangler & Shine for actual knots and mats; it's a leave-in spray, so there's no rinsing involved.
- Use Greenspot Remover for quick spot-cleaning of manure, urine, or sweat marks without a full bath, especially useful for grey or white horses prone to visible staining, or a last-minute touch-up before a class.
- Choose Shine In Yellow Out specifically for yellow discoloration rather than general shine; it's a rinse-off shampoo left on for a couple of minutes before washing out, and it works on coats of any color, not only grey or white.
- Add Super Bodyshine as a finishing step after grooming for extra gloss; rather than expecting it to replace a detangler, the two work together, not as substitutes.
- Pick Rosewater Shampoo for regular full-body washing when your horse just needs a normal bath rather than targeted stain removal.
