Answer 1

i have used it on my gypsy vanner but it wasnt all that great. It looked really really cute, but sometimes it is hard for it too show up. So maybe itll show up better on your horse :) idk

best of luckk :)

Answer 2

I liked it when I used it..and it stayed in pretty well. (except when I gave him a bath after wards)

Answer 3

I'm really happy with the Twinkle range of products

I've used quite a few of them, and they do show well. I even used silver on a grey horse, and it shwoed just fine.

And about it lasting long, thats not necessarily true

All you need to do is hose it off with water, and its gone :]

However, it does finish quickly, so use it sparingly

Answer 4

Yes, i have used it... but it is a lot cheaper to just buy glitter in the craft section of walmart (or wherever you shop) and then hair spray it, plus it doesn't look as "stuck to the face"

plus, with LOOSE glitter, you can play it up a lot better. such as mixing it in baby oil to put it on the horses eyes, nose, mane, and tail... plus its healthier for their mane and tail!

or you could put the glitter on there rump with the hair spray, or if you want it to last you can mix it with hair gel.

MUCH cheaper, so many more colors, and WAY more ways of putting it on your horse, you just have to be creative!!

Good Luck!  

Answer 5

I haven't heard great things about Twinkle to be honest.  I've especially heard from my farrier that the hoof polish is awful for their feet and it takes the hoof, mane, and tail stuff forever to come out.  However, I guess it would be fine to use the mane and tail stuff if you don't mind it lasting for a while.

Answer 6

I would not suggest it if your horse has light hair because it might not show up as well.

Answer 7

it is probably pretty good if smartpack is selling it i really trust their products and whatnot so i think they are a good choice but i have heard that twinkle is good but i would use cowboy magic's show shene that stuff rules we use it on all our horses at the barn i ride at and it really adds a nice sparckle and makes their tailes and manes alot more healthy!

Answer 8

that's the exact stuff i used for fair last year. it's pretty good i guess, i've never used sparkle stuff before i used that. use sparingly because it actually isn't all that much in the tube, i used most of it within 2 days. if you put enough in to see standing from about 5 feet away, you've put in enough. once you get in the arena, the lights/ sunlight will bounce off it and really make it twinkle. the quality is great. once it's been dry for a while, it will come out easily if you brush or pet the area it's on. if you don't touch it, it'll stay the whole day or more if the horse doesn't rub where it is either. it works all over their body. i put it on chrome's rump. sorry, but unfortunately i don't have pics of it on chrome... but will have pics of it by the beginning of september!  

Answer 9

I love the Twinkle line of products. I've found that if you spray with a light mist of hairspray or show sheen that the product stays bright and does not wear off as easy.
