Has anyone used a product called M-T-G?
It is used for mane and tail growth as well as a remedy for rain rot and dry skin.
The active ingredient is sulfur.

Hi Lori,
I have not used this product personally, but I think what you are looking for is at www.shapleys.com
If you want it for treating Rain Rot, they claim it is a fungus. Here it states Rain Rot is bacterial. There is a member here on this forum that has had good luck with this.
Hope this helps

I am wondering if anyone out there has used PAM or some other cooking spray to lubricate bit parts? I am looking for something to lubricate that will not have any side effects on the horse? Any ideas?

Hi Victoria,
Good question and something I've not run into. I just wash my bits off; but I have seen rusty bits. I would think that Pam would help and horses might like the taste.

Thanks for the feedback Sara. I dont really have any rust on my bits but it seems when I wash them and dry them the joints skweek and stick! it drives me crazy so I am just thinking of lubing them someway. Any one else want to weigh in on this????

Hi Victoria. In the past I've had to lube a metal lever/switch on our kitchen water filter. I didn't want to use a traditional lube for fear that it would get in our water and defeat the purpose of the filter! I used a DrOp of olive oil and it worked like a charm.

Pam makes a spray olive oil that I use when cooking.

Just curious, what kind of bits do you use? I mostly use some type of broken snaffle.

MTG is very effective at helping hair regrowth; I've used it many times with great success on both shoulder and tail rubs. I will note, however, that it is rather oily, so keep that in mind if using it under blankets, although I've never had it ruin a blanket.

FYI:
PAM seems to work as a great lubricant for anything that is used in or near the horses mouth! And yes they seems to like it!
