Description
Hy Equestrian Thelwell Grooming Academy Merrylegs' Therapy Secret Wash
Merrylegs' Therapy Secret Wash is a no-rinse cooling coat wash for horses and ponies, made with natural lavender oil that releases calming aromas as it works. It is designed for owners who want to freshen and cool the coat quickly after schooling, hacking or turnout, without hosing down and rinsing off.
Because the formula contains no hidden detergents or soap, it suits regular use on the yard and is a practical addition to any bathing kit - whether that is a first pony, a busy livery yard or a competition grooming box. Like lavender, Penelope blooms in unlikely places, so sit back, relax and treat your pony to a spa day.

FAQ
Do I need to rinse this wash off?
No. It is a no-rinse formula, so you apply it, work it into the coat and leave it in. That makes it useful when water is limited or when you are short of time after riding.
Does it contain soap or detergent?
No. There are no hidden detergents or soap in the wash, which is why many owners choose it for frequent use rather than a heavy shampoo.
What does the lavender oil do?
The natural lavender oil releases calming aromas while the wash cools the coat, helping to promote a sense of well-being during grooming.
Should I patch test first?
Yes. A patch test is advised before use. Apply a small amount to one area, wait, and check the skin before using it over the whole body.
Can I use it on a pony as well as a horse?
Yes. It is suitable for horses and ponies of all types, including cobs, natives and warmbloods.
When is the best time to use it?
It works best straight after schooling, lunging, hacking or on a warm day, when you want to cool and freshen the coat quickly.
