Hair dye works better, and isn't toxic.

But ya gotta watch your brand. Certain brands will turn horses green and all sorts of other weird colors not found in nature.

My horse is jet black except for one white heel and a few white hairs on her forehead in the shape of a crescent moon. She never raced (bwahahahaha) so she doesn't have a lip tattoo. She's always ready to load, 'cause she used to be a broodmare at one point in her checkered career so she always thinks when she sees a trailer that it's Time for Romance. I HAVE touched up her tail when it got too much sun . . . but I'll never tell how. :-D

Oh, what the heck. Here she is in all her glory:

Sorry about the saddle mark. She is a little down in the back, but then she's 16. It's amazing when I look at her how much she's bulked up in the chest and withers since we started doing dressage. Lot of muscle on her second thigh too.

Since I've never had to recolor a horse, I'll take your word for it. The closest I've come is using baby powder on the white parts of a certain snotty little pony at dressage shows, where he can roll on the grass, even when tied to the trailer, and magically get grass stains only on the white parts.
