FAQ
What is Effol Coat & Skin used for?
It is used to nourish and protect the skin and hair, enhance the natural shine of the coat, mane and tail, soothe irritated or stressed skin areas, and provide a barrier against environmental irritants.
Can I use it on wounds?
It is described as ideal for post-wound care, so it can be used around healing areas as part of a wider routine. Always seek veterinary advice for open, deep or infected wounds before applying anything.
Will it make the coat greasy?
Used sparingly it should not. Mineral oil spreads a long way, so start with a small amount, work it in well and add more only if the coat still looks dry.
Is it suitable for manes and tails?
Yes. Apply a little to the hair and comb through to help detangle and add shine. Avoid over-applying near the mane roots if the horse wears a rug with a high neck.
Can I use it under tack?
Avoid applying to the saddle and girth areas before riding, as oil can affect tack grip. Treat these areas after work instead.
Is it suitable for ponies and youngsters?
Yes, it can be used on horses and ponies of any type. Patch test a small area first on sensitive or fine-skinned animals and discontinue use if any irritation appears.
