FAQ
What does Banish & Vanish Shampoo do?
It is a stain-removing shampoo that lifts stubborn marks and dirt from the coat while coat-conditioning ingredients help nourish the hair for a smooth, glossy finish.
Is it suitable for grey ponies and white markings?
Yes. It is designed to tackle stubborn stains, so it is a practical choice for greys, socks and other white markings before the show ring.
What does it smell like?
The shampoo is infused with a coconut fragrance, which adds a tropical scent to bath time.
Do I need to patch test before using it?
Yes, a patch test is advised before use. Apply a small amount to a small area of the coat first, especially on horses with sensitive skin.
Can I use it on ponies and youngsters?
Yes. It suits horses, ponies, cobs and youngsters when used as directed and rinsed thoroughly. Keep it away from the eyes and take care with horses that are new to bathing.
How often can I use it?
Use it as needed for show preparation or after muddy turnout. Over-frequent bathing can dry the coat, so many owners wash fully only when required and spot clean in between.
