Amy Witt is a cowgirl with heart, and a passion for animals and the arts. From a background of rodeo, roping and riding to her current pursuits of writing and photography, she is as talented as she is busy. She lives and breaths her passions every day, melding creativity with practical horsemanship in a way that all seems magical. It’s a cowgirl dream come true, or, for Witt, “California Dreamin” come true, which is the title of her blog. Witt started the blog as a vehicle to share her editorial work and photography, which then launched her relationship with Mane ‘n Tail.

As a cowgirl that takes pride in how how her horses look and feel, Witt puts effort into ensuring they are well-groomed. The Original Mane ‘n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner have been a part of Witt’s grooming routine for her horses and dogs. “I refuse to use anything but Mane ‘n Tail Ultimate Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner on my horses and dogs,” said Witt. “Mo (her horse) loves to roll and after bathing him with the Ultimate Gloss and conditioning his mane and tail, he stays clean for at least a week and I just brush him off and touch him up and he still looks freshly bathed.” Witt added that Lily, her Aussie dog, literally glistens after using the Ultimate Gloss duo.

It isn’t just the hair of her animals she trusts exclusively to the brand. “I can’t live without Mane ‘n Tail Color protect Shampoo and Conditioner. My hair stays exactly as blonde as it did when I had it colored,” she said. “It keeps it fresh!” It became a perfect fit for Witt to work with the company, writing about her confidence in, and love of, all of the products.
