I think it works wonders. I get the detangler and just rub a "bit" into the mat and comb it away. You can buy it at any PetsMart that has a horse section, most tack shops sell it. Go to
http://www.Cowboymagic.com. They have a link where you can search for retailers in your area. I have not purchased it online, so I will leave that part of the question to someone else to answer.
