I have successfully used "mechanic's waterless handcleaner" to remove juniper pitch and tarweed sap from Fjord forelocks. Rub it in by hand, then wipe it out with paper towels or disposable rags. You might want to shampoo the area afterwards, to remove the lanolin that the handcleaner leaves behind.

Re: Corn Oil Residue
This message is from: "vz/bossmare" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A couple of things I found out about feeding oil. First, corn oil seems to be stickier than other oils. I switched to Uckele's Cocosoya oil and liked it much better when I found out it rinsed easily out of the feed buckets whereas corn oil left a residue I had to get out with an abrasive pad. Horses liked it better, it was absorbed into the feed better and according to reports is a better oil than the processed supermarket oils meant for our consumption. Secondly, if oil is fed in a hot mash of beet pulp it becomes completely absorbed into the mash. I found corn oil poured on top of dry feed, pellets or grain, to be rather a bit of a mess both on the horse and off. Hope this helps. Lois in rainy NJ - Original Message - From: "Carol J.

Other than that, no problems. I dump Heidi's feed onto her hay, then top the feed with the corn oil. She's never gotten messy from it...maybe she's just a clean eater?

RE: Corn Oil Residue
This message is from: "jerrell friz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What is the purpose of feeding corn oil? or for that matter any oil?? Horses don't have a gall bladder!! I hear they have a tough time with it.I am not trying too be funny, but really wonder why?? Seems to me that if the corn oil were to be discontinued, then the "black globs" would go away..

We use a product called "Quick n Brite" to remove pitch and such, it would probably work on the oil too. It is biodegradable, nontoxic and all that good stuff. Not sure where you can get it - we picked it up at a yard sale a couple years ago. There is a phone # on the tub: 206-778-8285. This is the only stuff I've found that will easily remove pitch and not leave a greasy smear or a stench behind. Amy Amy Evers Dun Lookin' Fjords Redmond, OR Fjord [EMAIL PROTECTED]
