Morning all.

My horse has somehow managed to get some kind of tree sap all over his coat which has set like chewing gum - lovely!

Has any one got any ideas how to get it off as it looks awful and is really annoying me. I can't pull it off as it would pull the hair off and i have tried scratching at it to no avail.

I googled the problem last night and apparently rubbing alchol is good at getting pine sap off clothes....what is this and where do i get it? Also, would white spirit put on a cloth turn his hair white?!!

All suggestions welcome as it is driving me up the wall!

Don't think white spirit would bleach his coat. Have you thought about trying plaster adhesive remover? Might work. God luck Zx
