Works great but can’t stand the smell
While this is clearly a very effective product for a variety or skin conditions, the smell is hard to tolerate. Wish there was something that could be done about that.

MTG
Discussion page for horse health has posted over and over how it burns the horse-even if it helps some and burns others it should be taken off market to prevent burning and sores in horses!

Stinky, but effective!
This stuff really has a strong smell, but it is great stuff! It treats almost any skin condition or patch of lost hair, and it helps with dandruff also. I always keep a bottle on hand!

Works Amazing!
I used MTG on my show horse's tail (since the braiding makes the hair fall out) and it has not only grown back fuller, but it is also shinier than ever.

It really works!
I use M-T-G on my horses tail every winter as well as braiding it down and bagging it. It really helps to grow his tail during our down months!

Great for skin issues!
This is a great product for a variety of skin issues. I have used it to treat rain rot as well as other skin fungus. I have also used it to help hair grow back in places where my horse has rubbed his hair off. It is very safe, which is a big plus for me. It's only downside is that it doesn't smell good. However, they also sell one which is supposed to smell better (but I haven't tried it).

Great product, multiple uses!
This is a great product for many uses ! I've used it to treat scratches , and to promote tail hair growth, I use it to promote overall coat growth, it adds a nice sheen and conditions hooves and softens dry skin patches.

Amazing
I have a very sensitive skinned chestnut who always seems to have perpetual scurf/rain rot in various areas of his body. I've always been careful of what products I use to treat his skin issues as many things I've tried have made him break out in hives. I was worried about trying this on him as it seemed strong, but he had no bad reaction to it AND it cleared up ALL his skin issues within two days! I'm truly amazed by how well this has worked and I plan to always keep some around now should he ever have a flare up again.

DO NOT BUY
I used MTG on my horse as a treatment for rain rot, it cleared it up but caused a massive sore on his butt ( which WAS NOT rain rot). Unless you want your horse to have sores, DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!! If I could rate this product a zero I WOULD! It also turned my palomino's mane green!

Great for Chestnuts!
My new horse is a chestnut and this is the best product for his sensitive coat! He got a case of rain rot and it did wonders to clear it up and grow the hair back quick. I use it as a preventative now as well as to condition his tail . I have also started using it on his legs. I use wear disposable gloves just to make clean up easier but you can put it on with bare hands and it is good for your hands too. It does separate in the bottle so just give the bottle a good shake. I can't say enough about this product and how great it is and how many uses there are for it.

Great - takes time
I've been using this product for a few weeks now to treat scratches on my Senior OTTB's back feet pasterns. It's taking some time but does seem to be working. Be diligent and give it some time. Smells bad so I wear latex gloves.

Used it forever!
Read the bottle!!! Test your horse for a reaction before using this product!!
I like to test on an inconspicuous patch on the rump, if there is a reaction it won't be hideously in the way.
I started using this when my gelding lost his forelock! It kind of grows the hair back in little tufts if you apply it to the whole follicle. I recommend really trying to get only the roots of the hair. I've used this on blanket rubs, trailer tail rubs, and mare tail.
If you're put off by that smell I'm sorry but most medications don't smell pleasant and this is in my opinion a medication. It does work, just crinkles your nose.
Also, people use it on themselves? I
haven't tried it but I hear it works!

Miracle for rain rot!
My poor boy got a pretty nasty case of rain rot recently. I tried for the better part of a week to treat it with other shampoos and sprays. I was leery of using the MTG because I was concerned about sunburn (its oily and I had read it may cause sunburn). However, boy am I glad I did finally try it!! I liberally put the MTG on his rain rot areas one evening and let it be overnight. The next day I was amazed! Those nasty little patches came right off with a sponge and some water! No more picking at my poor sensitive skinned boy, or rubbing him raw with curry combs! This will be the FIRST thing I grab next time, so I can start regrowing hair and stop tormenting my pony!

I am using this for itchy tail. It seems to take immediate effect. I did it 3 days in a row just to be sure.

WORKS PERFECTLY
Two of my mares had rain rot on their hindquarters last year and this got rid of it all within a week or so! I ever recommended it to a friend (her horse had pretty bad rain rot that just wouldn't go away) and it cleared it all up! If you're looking to get rid of your horses rain rot, definitely use Shapley's Original M-T-G!!!

Smelly and greasy...but it WORKS!
I was losing a battle with rain rot on my mare's hind legs. I had been washing her legs with the medicated Eqyss shampoo and applying the Equyss spray afterward, but after a week the rain rot was not getting any better, it was actually spreading (her taking daily mud baths while out in the pasture during the day was obviously not helping, but the weather in Texas this year has been rather wet!!!). So I bought a bottle of MTG at my local feed store. It is smelly (smells more like rotten egg than bacon in my opinion) and super greasy, BUT in two applications, her rain rot was gone!!! So I will put up with the cons (I do wear gloves when applying, which makes a huge difference) since the product really exceeded my expectations. I have not used it for hair growth and not sure if i could put up with my mare having a greasy and smelly tail/mane... But I will definitely use it again for medicated purposes. I do wish it came in a spray bottle though...

excellent product - have used it for years
My horse came in his stall today and turned his rump to me and looked at me. I figured out he had an itchy tail and applied MTG liberally. He couldn't have thanked me more clearly.....great stuff !

Awesome!
I've got a 9 month filly with dry skin in her mane - so I've been using this once a week for the last 3 weeks now & it looks so much better! I also have a 10 year old Morgan with a tail I can NOT get to grow out so I've been applying this once a week for the last 3 weeks and HOLY SMOKES it already looks so much better! I'm so happy I ordered this and I can't wait to see how it keeps working!

It WORKS! Miracle Product!
I bought this for my new lease and I LOVE it! When I came to try him, I noticed that he had ugly rain rot on the back of his gaskins. I heard that MTG is THE product to use for rain rot, and everyone is right! I made sure that no one else was applying anything to his rain rot to make sure there was nothing for it to react to (I'm not sure if MTG reacts with anything, but I don't want to make anything worse) and started applying it.
I only see him about 4 times a week, so after the first time I applied it and came back a couple days after, his rain rot had healed by 50%! I have been applying it about 2x a week (I have gotten a little slack about it) and it's been getting better, but when I only aapply it once a week it's not enough to cure it. I'm sure if I get more strict about applying it often, then it will heal.
I sort of wish that it came in a different dispenser; when I apply it to his rain rot it's very sensitive and he lashes our with his hind legs. I have been applying it with a cloth to reduce him getting annoyed by it, but I think it works best when you can dispense it directly to the area without putting it on a rag first- it's a bit more concentrated.
(And is it bad that I enjoy the semi-burnt bacon smell??)
I haven't gotten a chance to use it on his mane or tail yet. His mane is pretty thick already, and I'm worried it may make his tailbone look greasy.

SMELLY, BUT WORKS!!
This stuff really works! Be sure to shake it well and put it on clean skin/hair. It does collect dirt because of the oil, but works great, especially on itchy horses.

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.

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!
