What does Barrier make?
Barrier Animal Healthcare focuses on naturally derived, plant-based formulas for everyday yard and stable use. The range covers five main areas: insect repellents, coat washes and shampoos, skin and first-aid soothers, hoof care, and stable hygiene. Alongside the horse range you'll also find smallholding lines (poultry red-mite powders, sheep and livestock care), so check the product title and description to confirm a product suits your animal.
Barrier's formulas lean on ingredients such as tea tree, aloe vera, citronella, lavender and chamomile. They are grooming and care products rather than licensed medicines — for any wound, skin condition, lameness or health concern, speak to your vet first.

How do I choose the right product?
Start with the job you need done — repel flies, wash and condition, soothe skin, or protect hooves — then match it to the range above. Check the bottle size on the product page, as many Barrier lines come in both a handy spray size and a larger economy or concentrate bottle. If your horse has a skin condition, sweet itch, or a wound that isn't healing, involve your vet before choosing a product.
