FAQ
Do I really not need to rinse it off?
No. The wash is formulated to be left in the coat, so you simply sponge it on and remove the excess water with a sweat scraper. That makes it useful in winter or on yards without a wash box.
How much should I use?
A couple of capfuls in a bucket of water is enough for a full-sized horse, so a bottle goes a long way. Use less for a pony or for a quick spot clean of sweat marks.
Is it gentle on sensitive skin?
It contains no soap, detergents or thickening agents, which makes it a mild option for frequent use. As with any wash, patch test on a small area first if your horse has known sensitivities.
Can I use it on a grey horse?
Yes. It lifts sweat and dirt from any coat colour and is handy for greys, where sweat marks and stains show most.
What does it smell like?
It contains essential lavender oil, giving a subtle lavender fragrance that many horses find soothing and relaxing.
When is the best time to use it?
Straight after exercise, after competing or travelling, or at the end of any hot and sticky day when a full bath is not practical.
