WD-40 on tails ?

[B]No ! Toxic to animals - absorbed through skin / hooves.

Past users no longer use it on horse tails due to vet warnings …

  • this includes equine, barn cats / dogs

why take the chance ?! [/B]

The original thread is from 2009.

WD-40 current ingredients are believed to be

50% Aliphatic hydrocarbons
<25%petrolium base oil
12-18%low vapor pressure aliphatic hydrocarbon
2-3% carbon dioxide
<10% inert ingredients

Personally, I want to avoid inhaling any of the above ingredients, and that is difficult to do while spraying your horse’s tail.

If you use any aerosol product on your horse, a mask might be appropriate.

Your first post it to dredge up a post from 2009…lol! [edit]

Beg your pardon??? How very rude.

The mods have repeatedly asked posters to refrain from throwing the T-word around. May be try obeying the rules yourself instead of policing others.

Says the person who has all their posts redacted by MODS. I posted that so people wouldn’t waste their times reading something from 2009. Hence TIME WASTER. I don’t normally go condemning and name calling. I use it as more a slang. Mod can delete if she likes. Have a nice day! :slight_smile:

Wow.

Name calling…lying…belittling a newbie poster… then justifying it all by say you’re performing a PSA. …and then hanging the responsibility for cleaning up your nastiness on the Mods.

You know how to edit and delete, clean up your own mess.

@Zu Zu It was here, I remember seeing it.

FWIW, In my experience here you have never been rude to anyone, only supportive and compassionate.

I can’t even picture you using inappropriate language. :winkgrin:

It seems like we’ve had a rash of new posters pulling up zombie threads while not really adding substantially to the topic of discussion lately. Not really sure why.

But, anyway, I have also used WD-40 in manes and tails (also in an Arab barn). When a herd of long-maned broodmares come down off “the mountain” in the spring and you need to get a winter’s worth of burrs out of more than a dozen manes and tails, you want to use the most effective product available. :lol: Would I use it on a day-to-day basis? No. I can’t stand the smell. But desperate times call for desperate measures!

OMG Staaaaaaaaaaahp spreading this annoying lie, WD-40 is NOT fish oil. Doesn’t contain fish oil, never has ever been fish oil. Even their website addresses this annoying myth.
