FAQ
What is Hy Equestrian Thelwell Victors Shampoo used for?
It is an antibacterial shampoo for bathing horses and ponies. It cleans the coat, helps soothe and refresh the skin and hair, and is often used for show preparation and general yard washing.
What ingredients does it contain?
The formula contains a fusion of natural tea tree oil, peppermint extracts and avocado oil, and is described as rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
Is it suitable for ponies with sensitive skin?
A patch test is advised before use. Apply a small amount to one area, rinse and check the skin before bathing the whole horse. If you have any concerns, speak to your vet.
Can I use it on a grey or coloured horse?
Yes, it can be used across the whole coat on any colour. For stains on greys, allow the lather a little longer on the marked area before rinsing thoroughly.
How often can I bath my horse with it?
Bathing is usually reserved for shows, clipping days or when a horse is particularly dirty or sweaty, as frequent washing can strip natural coat oils. Use warm water and rinse fully each time.
Does it need to be diluted?
Apply to a wet coat and work into a lather with a sponge or mitt. Diluting a small amount in a bucket of warm water can make it easier to spread over a large horse and simpler to rinse out.
