Smart Grooming Buzz Off Citronella Horse Shampoo
Description
Smart Grooming Buzz Off Shampoo is a rich, nourishing horse shampoo that cleanses the coat while helping to deter insects during the warmer months. It is best for horses and ponies living out in fly season, and for anyone who wants a summer wash that leaves a fresh, long-lasting citrus aroma.
The cleansing base creates a generous lather and rinses clean, so sweat, dust and grass marks lift away easily from coat, mane and tail. Citronella oil gives the shampoo its distinctive citrus scent and helps deter insects during grooming sessions, while regular use enhances natural shine and supports overall coat well-being.

FAQ
Does Buzz Off Shampoo replace a fly repellent?
No. The citronella oil gives a fresh citrus scent and helps deter insects during grooming sessions, but it is a shampoo rather than a substitute for a dedicated fly spray or fly rug.
How often can I use it?
It can be used regularly through the warmer months. Regular use enhances natural shine and supports overall coat well-being, though washing frequency should always suit your horse's skin and workload.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
It is a standard shampoo base containing sulfates and parabens, so patch test a small area first if your horse has sensitive skin, and avoid broken or irritated skin.
Can I use it on the mane and tail?
Yes. Work the lather through the mane and tail, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and follow with a detangler if you wish.
What does it smell like?
A distinctive, long-lasting citrus aroma from the citronella oil, which lingers on the coat after washing.
Can I use it on grey horses before a show?
Yes. It lathers generously and rinses clean, which helps lift grass and stable marks from white markings, though very stubborn stains may need a second wash.
