Made it worse
My horse was pretty itchy so based on reviews I tried this product. It made it Way worse and the poor guy couldn't stop itching on anything and everything after I used this. I ended up calling the vet after a week and 3 baths to try to wash this off. Definitely test on a small area first.

It Truly Works & On Humans Also!
I've used this and my hair grows extremely fast. Normally I have super-slow growing hair. But every time I have used M-T-G (once per week) my hair grows only after a few days of each use. It doesn't grow super long, but it does grow quickly. I'm a keeper. Also there's folks that use it on their horses that love it also and their horse's manes and tails are very, very long after such a short time!!! It smells like burnt bacon, but it's worth it.

WORKS GREAT
It works great on rain rot. After treating with other products for weeks we saw and improvement in one use. I've also used it as a tail detangler for a horse with a VERY matted tail and it worked GREAT. The only negative thing about this product is the smell.

Awesome stuff
Grows hair , cures fungus, heals bacterial infections, etc... Works great. Does what it says it does . Downsides are it's sulfur based so Stinky (but the original I find works better than the new less stinky version because the best part is the sulfur). It can also act as a magnifyier in the hot direct sun so be careful with sensitive skinned horses turned out.

Great Product
This worked great I have been battling this fungus for 6 months without much of a dent and one week of treatment it is almost gone...now if it wouldn't smell so bad it would have gotten a 5*

Grooming staple
This stuff is really magic. Despite smelling a bit like bacon...its really helped my mare's tail and mane. I also put a bit in her ears occasionally because she tends to get dry/flaky skin. It's completely done away with her dry itchy ears as well! There's multiple uses for this product and its definitely a grooming staple!

Awesome product!!
I bought MTG to treat rain rot and scratches on my mare. It began to clear up both issues within days! I am utterly amazed by this product! I don't even care that it smells like a smoldering camp fire, It works and that is all that matters to me!!

Skin burns!
This product gave my horse second degree burns on his forelock and face and his neck broke out in hives. He is new to me and i have used this product for years with my other two horses with great results but i guess my new guy has very sensitive skin! Try a small spot on horses before full blown using it. I wanted to help grow his forelock not have to shave it off.

The Best EVER
MTG does a great job on my TB's summer itch, so I'd buy it for that alone.
Even more impressive, though, is the way it worked on a recently adopted mini. The poor little guy was a rescue, and had thrush, worms AND lice. His coat was an absolute nightmare, and the hair was falling out in clumps, leaving patches of bare, itchy skin. Not pretty!
Anyway, MTG was invaluable here. After treating for lice and worms, I began applying MTG every other day. It's only been a month since he arrived, but he already looks like a brand new horse, with lovely, shiny hair coming in like crazy.
MTG is fantastic, and I just couldn't be happier.

Does what it claims!
I just love this product. It helps my horses tail grow so fast and look healthy. I rub it on his tail bone and dock. I also use it if he rubs his tail. Helps heal itchy scaling skin.

Proven impact
I know there is a newer version of this, without sulfur smell, but honestly, I don't care. This product works to treat many skin conditions, thrush, miner injuries, shining coat, getting rid of skin flakes, etc. I hope they never change the formula

Works Great
Excellent product for scratches and getting hair to grow back. The smell is gross, but I can overlook that due to the results.

This stuff might stink but it WORKS!
I have a hard keeping TB that gets some rain rot every spring. This stuff softens the scabs within 24 hours and leaves behind healthy skin that is ready to grow a new coat of hair.

Miracle Worker!
I bought this product after reading many great reviews and I am now so impressed that I will always have a bottle on hand! I started using it on my horse's mane and tail and the hair is actually growing longer and stronger. It has a funky smell but since it works it is well worth it!

Great for tails
MTG is a great product for getting horses to stop rubbing their tails, and then encouraging the tail to grow out. The product is a little messy and is pretty oily, but it works.

great for rain rot
I tried everything for my mare's skin, but this product stimulated hair growth very well and kept her coat looking great through the rainy season.

Great product for skin conditions!
Works great at healing crusty scabs on my haflinger's heels and doesn't need to be applied daily. Also works wonders on the mane and tail when washing is not an option in the winter or year round. Cleans up the funk and detangles thick manes and tails!

Great if your horse isn't allergic
My mare had a few patches of rainrot and fungus so we decided to test it on her. The more we used it the worse it got. She even got to a point where she scratched her whole skin and hair off her neck. I stopped using it for a month or so and things got better so I decided to test a drop on her tail to see if this was really the cause of it and sure enough she immediately started rubbing. Most horses aren't sensitive but I recommend testing it before using.

Good for rain rot!
My horse had rain rot on her back and M-T-G cleared it right up! It doesn't smell good but it does its job. Just purchase some rubber gloves and wear them when you use the product.

OVERALL GOOD PRODUCT
Nothing really bad to say about this product. the smell is not the best. my mare had a decent tail, but i wanted it to be a WOW tail. The product does work. You just have to watch how much product you add because my mare did have a minor reaction to a large amount of this product. it really dried out her skin around her tail dock area and make her really itchy. Helped her tail get super thick and grow!

Seems to Work on Every Horse But Mine
I purchased this over the summer because my horse had scratched off all the hair on his tail. I decided to give it a try on his mane too. I followed all the instructions on the bottle but when I came back the next day he was covered in fungus. I wouldn't say don't buy it just test it on a small part first to make sure your horse isn't allergic.

Great Product for Hair Re-Growth!
Used Shapley's Original MTG behind horse's ears every other day or so where halter was rubbing the hair off and irritating the skin. The bridle had also started rubbing the same place. Starting seeing results within a week and after several weeks almost all the hair has grown back! Strong smell, but a Great product! Make sure and shake well!

Works good, smells AWFUL
Well this product works really good as a way to reduce rainrot, fungal infections etc. But it smells awful and is really oily! I also didn't think it helped much with growth on my horses tail. But thats ok. I Other than the fact it smells horrible (like bacon) its a really good product!

Nothing compares for moisture and growth
This truly is a miracle product. It had been recommended to me for awhile as a moisturizer for the mane/tail and i never bothered with it. I hated the way it smelled.
That was fine, until my horse started to get a humidity based fungus. I tried a couple different treatments until someone recommended MTG having used it on their horses.
After applying it to this pesky fungus it cleared up in a couple days! Since i had a bottle of it left i decided to try it in my horses braids at the roots. I couldn't believe it. This stuff keeps the area moisturized for days. I got three inches of strong hair growth on my thin haired mare in two months.
I have tried just about every other brand of detangler/conditioner/moisturizer/anti rub/growth promoting product there is.
Nothing works like MTG.

Ignore the smell...its works!
I do hate the way it smells but, it will get rid of fungus and all other "crud" that my TB gets during hot & muggy weather.

For 6 months I have been trying to get rid of a fungus that was on my Thoroughbred's cannons, pasterns, and ears. I tried everything I could think of without any improvement. Last Monday I put MTG on the areas expecting nothing to change and the next time I saw him the fungus was almost completely gone! This is a serious must have for everyone. Can't believe it worked so fast.

works but smells
This work great on horses that get itchy and rub out their mane/tail. It does have a strong odor & I do use gloves when I apply it. Make sure not to let the horse out in the direct sun after application (I put it on at dinner) because it is oil based & can cause the sun to burn the skin. Work great on sweet itch belly irritation also.
