Carr & Day & Martin Canter® Coat Shine Conditioner Spray: The Grooming Game-Changer
Say Hello to a Shine So Good, It Deserves Its Own Spotlight
Ever tried removing grass stains from a horse? As Aaron from Just Horse Riders hilariously puts it, "you'll know it's like removing glitter after a kid’s birthday party. Impossible." Fortunately, there’s a solution — and it comes in the form of the Carr & Day & Martin Canter® Coat Shine Conditioner Spray.
What Is Canter® Coat Shine?
This spray is designed to provide an instant, long-lasting sheen without the greasy finish of traditional coat conditioners. It helps repel mud, grass stains, and everyday stable grime while giving your horse that competition-ready glow.
The Brand That Knows Horses Better Than We Know Our Netflix Passwords
Aaron points out a fun fact: “Carr & Day & Martin have been making horse products since 1765”. Yes, you read that right — this trusted brand has been around longer than the United States! That’s experience you can count on.

Why Horse Owners Swear by It
1. It’s Like Armor, But for Dirt
This product acts like a protective barrier against everyday muck. As Aaron puts it, it gives your horse an “instant, long-lasting, oil-free shine” and helps them stay cleaner for longer.
2. It’s Easy to Apply
Application is a breeze. “Spray it on, wipe or brush it down, and voila” — you're done. Just avoid the saddle area unless you enjoy feeling like you're “riding a greased watermelon.”
3. Helps with Quarter Markings
Creating quarter markings? No problem. This spray makes it easy to achieve defined, polished markings for shows and competitions.
4. Stops Rug Rubs
Apply the spray to your horse’s chest and shoulders to prevent rug and blanket rubbing. It’s a simple trick to improve your horse’s comfort.
5. Non-Greasy Formula
Unlike traditional conditioners, this one is oil-free. “Your horse won’t look like it’s auditioned for a 90s boy band,” says Aaron. Instead, expect a natural, silky shine without the slick residue.
When & How to Use It
Daily Use or Pre-Show Polish
This conditioner spray is perfect for daily grooming or as a finishing touch before competitions. It’s suitable for use on wet or dry hair.
Pair It with Gallop® Shampoo for Best Results
Think of them as the dynamic duo of grooming. Aaron describes them as the “Batman and Robin of horse grooming,” minus the questionable spandex outfits. Pairing them guarantees top-tier shine.
How Long Does It Last?
A 500ml bottle lasts up to 2 months depending on usage. “Once you see the results, you'll be spraying this stuff around like confetti at a parade,” Aaron laughs.
The Results Speak for Themselves
Your horse will go from “looking like it rolled through a hedge backwards” to “stepping out of a shampoo commercial.” It’s not just a transformation — it’s a total grooming glow-up.
