Smart Grooming Lavender Shampoo for Horses
Description
Smart Grooming Lavender Shampoo is a rich, conditioning horse shampoo infused with lavender essential oil that cleanses the coat without stripping its natural moisture. It is best for riders who want a high-shine finish and a calmer bath time, and it is gentle enough for horses and ponies with sensitive skin.
The formulation includes a pearliser for a subtle pearlescent glow, while the lavender fragrance and oil components help deter insects during turnout and grooming. Use it for routine yard washing, pre-show preparation or after hard work.

FAQ
Is this shampoo suitable for horses with sensitive skin?
Yes. It is formulated to be gentle while still cleansing effectively, using mild surfactants and a conditioning base that cleanses without stripping moisture. As with any new product, test on a small area first if your horse is particularly reactive.
Does it really help keep insects away?
The fragrance and lavender oil components help deter insects during turnout and grooming. It is a shampoo rather than a dedicated fly repellent, so continue to use your usual fly protection in peak insect season.
How much shampoo do I need for one horse?
A little goes a long way because the base lathers richly. Apply to a wet coat and build the lather gradually, adding more only if needed, then rinse thoroughly.
Can I use it on the mane and tail?
Yes. Work it through the mane and tail as well as the body, then rinse well. The conditioning base helps leave the hair manageable.
Is it suitable before a show?
Yes. The pearliser gives the coat a subtle, pearlescent glow and a high-shine finish, which makes it a practical choice the day before or the morning of a show.
What are the full ingredients?
