Which shampoo suits my horse?
Start with coat colour and skin type, then pick the bottle size that matches how many horses you wash.
What works on greys and white markings?
The Equine America Whitening Shampoo (1 Litre, £14.16) is the one built for lifting stable stains out of white hair. Work it into wet hair, leave it a minute or two before rinsing, and do the tail separately so you are not fighting knots at the same time.
What if my horse has sensitive skin?
Equine America Sensitive Citrus Shampoo (1 Litre, £14.16) is the gentler option in the range. As with any new product, patch test a small area first and give it 24 hours before doing the whole horse. If your horse has an active skin problem, speak to your vet before washing.
Is there a value size for a busy yard?
Yes. Equine America Yard Shampoo comes in 5 Litre at £25.77, which is the sensible choice if you are washing several horses a week rather than one. There is also a Silky Tail Detangler Refill in 2.5 Litre at £31.25 to top up the 1 Litre bottle, and Citronella Summer Horse in a 5 Litre Spray at £41.66.
What should live in the first-aid box?
For everyday knocks, most people keep one skin gel and one cooling product to hand. Equine America Derma Gel (100ml, £19.21) is a herbal hydrogel used on minor grazes, rubs and scuffs to help keep the area moist and covered. The Equine America Derma Gel Spray (from £16.87 for 50ml) is the same idea in a spray, which is easier on a spot your horse would rather you did not touch.
These are grooming and skin-care products, not veterinary treatments. Deep, bleeding, puncture or eye wounds, anything hot and swollen, and anything that is not improving all need your vet, not a tub of gel. If in doubt, call the vet first.
How do the cooling products differ?
Both are used on legs after work, but they behave differently. Equine America Like Ice (from £21.14 for 2.7kg) is a clay, so it is applied thickly and left to dry down, and it is the more traditional after-work option. Equine America Green Ice Gel (1.5 Litre, £21.68) is a gel that spreads on quickly, which suits a fast turnaround at a show or a late night after a lesson. Both are intended to help legs feel comfortable after exercise; neither is a treatment for lameness or injury.
How do I help an itchy horse?
Equine America Soothe Itch Spray (500ml, £14.15) covers a large area fast, and Equine America Soothe Itch Gel (500ml, £18.18) stays where you put it, which is better for a specific patch on the mane or dock. Both help soothe irritated skin. Persistent rubbing, hair loss or broken skin is a reason to get your vet involved, because sweet itch, mites and infections all need diagnosing properly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Equine America Derma Gel and Derma Gel Spray?
It is the same herbal skin hydrogel in two formats. Derma Gel comes as a 100ml tub at £19.21, which suits spots you can reach and rub in. Derma Gel Spray starts at £16.87 for the 50ml and lets you cover an awkward or ticklish area without contact. Many people keep the tub in the tack room and the spray in the travel kit.
Which Equine America shampoo is best for a grey horse?
Equine America Whitening Shampoo in 1 Litre at £14.16 is the one aimed at white and grey coats and stained markings. If your grey also has reactive skin, use the Sensitive Citrus Shampoo (1 Litre, £14.16) for routine washes and save the whitening shampoo for the day before a show.
Can I use these products on a wound?
These are grooming and skin-care products, not veterinary medicines. They are used on minor everyday grazes, rubs and irritated skin. Anything deep, bleeding, punctured, near an eye or joint, hot and swollen, or simply not getting better needs your vet. Call the vet first and follow their advice on what to apply.
Should I choose Like Ice clay or Green Ice Gel?
Choose on how much time you have. Like Ice (from £21.14 for the 2.7kg tub) is a clay you apply thickly and leave on the legs, which suits an evening after hard work. Green Ice Gel (1.5 Litre, £21.68) spreads on and is done in seconds, which suits a busy show day. Both are for legs after exercise, not for treating an injury.
Are there larger sizes for a multi-horse yard?
Yes. Equine America Yard Shampoo comes in 5 Litre at £25.77, the Silky Tail Detangler Refill is 2.5 Litre at £31.25, and Citronella Summer Horse comes as a 5 Litre Spray at £41.66. These work out better per wash than replacing 1 Litre bottles, and the refill tops up a bottle you already have.
What can I use to clean a gelding's sheath?
Equine America Winky Wash Sheath Cleaner, 500ml at £13.85, is made for the job and is the lowest-priced product in stock on this page. Use warm water, take your time, and stand safely to one side. If you find swelling, discharge, a smell that is not normal for your horse, or any difficulty passing urine, stop and speak to your vet.
