Grooming

We say…

A fast-acting detangler that gave long-lasting results. Seemed to soften the hairs so made knots really easy to brush out and also added plenty of shine to the hair. A good enough product to use on the coat to get it gleaming, too. Had a unique but pleasant scent. On the higher end of the cost spectrum and might not last long for a multi-horse owner, but the results and effectiveness warranted the pricetag.

We say…

Effective, easy-to-apply mist spray, with a lovely scent. Detangled well and reduced the amount of hair breakage when brushing and the effects lasted for days. Effective on all hair types, but would be especially valuable for thin tails. Left a lovely shine, and the transparent bottle allowed you to see how much product was left, which was useful. 

We say...

A big sturdy bottle that has lasted really well even when being used for multiple horses. Knots seemed to fall out when brushing, reducing breakage and hair loss – so would be great on fine, brittle or sparse tails. Kept tails tangle-free for days and worked consistently on different types of horses. Had a pleasant smell that wasn’t overpowering. Left a long-lasting shine and a little bit of product went a long way. 

We say…

Had a lovely refreshing scent and the spray mechanism meant you didn’t waste product. Reduced knot formation between sessions. Great to use as a leave-in conditioner and wasn’t sticky so left mane and tail with a lovely soft feel and look. More expensive than others but a little went a long way. It was a convenient size for stashing away in your grooming kit.

We say…

The spray offered great coverage so a few squirts went a long way. Product had no noticeable scent and was fairly effective at removing knots, although results weren’t as long-lasting as with other products. Best results were seen on clean manes and tails, so best suited for use before the show ring.

We say…

Bottle was durable and the nozzle worked well. Had a long, smooth spray action. Its smell was pleasant, and the spray removed knots easily, leaving tails looking great. One application definitely helped to keep tails more manageable, but would have liked the effects to last a little longer. The finish wasn’t greasy so it left manes and tails looking shiny and feeling smooth.   

We say…

Bottle was easy to use and a good size, and has stood up well to use on the yard. Had a lovely scent, but mane and tail needed a good coating for best results so it wouldn’t last long if using on multiple horses. Detangled well but didn’t prevent further knots from forming. A good product for everyday use that didn’t leave a sticky residue. 

We say…

A little bit of spray went a long way, and left the hair soft and silky with no unpleasant stickiness. It had a nice scent, and was equally effective on fine and wiry tails. Each application lasted at least a few days, and it prevented further knots building up in the meantime, which reduced brushing time between applications. Came in an aluminium bottle, which was really robust and stood up well to wear and would be suitable to refill in the long term.

We say…

Lightweight, handy sized plastic bottle that has stood up well to regular use. The spray mechanism offered good coverage, although best results were seen when the product was applied fairly liberally. It had a subtle scent, and left no residue, meaning manes and tails were manageable after use. A good everyday product that offered reasonable value for money. 

We say…

Easy to use spray in a sturdy bottle. Smelled nice but not overpowering. Wasn’t oily, so didn’t make the tail tacky like some can. The best results were seen when a fair amount of product was applied. Tail felt clean after use and the effects lasted a few days, allowing knots to be easily brushed out. 

We say…

Bottle came in a great size and the shape made it really easy to handle. It had a light, refreshing fragrance that held for a little while. The formula worked well and left a long-lasting silky finish. It detangled well even after applying fairly minimal product, and when used liberally the effects lasted for a couple   of days.

We say…

Easy to use with a no-leak locking mechanism. Produced a fine mist that was great for sensitive types and gave even coverage. A little went a long way and the mist action meant you never used more than you’d need. Didn’t leave the hair too slippery, although there was a slight stickiness after use. Smelt fresh without being overpowering and was very affordable.

We say…

My first impressions were that the price was a bit steep. However, I discovered that a little goes a long way. The wash has a lovely herbal smell and I found it was very easy to use. My horses’ coats looked clean and fresh after use and they smelt wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to other horse owners.

We say…

I think this product is very reasonably priced. It has an incredibly strong smell that I personally loved, but it might be a bit overpowering for some people. I found it very easy to use and my horses’ coats looked clean and refreshed after use. I would definitely recommend it to others and it’s reasonably priced for the quality of the product.

We say…

This product had a pleasant herbal fragrance and was easily diluted in a bucket of water. The top makes it easy to add too much, so pour it with care. I was very impressed with the results. My horse was very clean after use and it removed sweat and dust from his coat easily. A little went a long way and I’d recommend it for winter use when you want to remove grime without giving your horse a full bath.

We say…

Although the consistency was thicker than I’d anticipated for a no-rinse formula, it diluted well and didn’t create too many bubbles. The smell wasn’t overpowering and it was very refreshing. I used it on a very sweaty horse and it left a lovely, soft feeling on his coat when he’d dried. You don’t need much to get a result and I found the best result came from diluting it with water.

We say…

This product comes at a very reasonable price and while it had a nice smell, it wasn’t too overpowering. It was very easy to use and my horses’ coats looked clean and refreshed after use. It did a great job of removing caked sweat and mud and I would definitely recommend it to others.

We say…

I loved the smell of this wash and used it after schooling sessions and on really hot days. I was surprised how quickly it got rid of sweat and grease from my horse’s coat, and I didn’t need to use much to get a result. It’s a great everyday wash and really cooled the horses down after exercise, leaving their coats looking and feeling refreshed and clean. Plus, it comes at an affordable price.

We say…

I used this wash after exercise, when my horse felt sticky or sweaty. It was easy to apply with a damp cloth – I just rubbed my horse over with it, and his coat looked and felt great as it dried. A dollop on the cloth was sufficient to do most of his body and it was quick and easy to apply – the bottle has lasted a long time. I really like the smell – it’s not too strong, which is good – and I would say it’s really great value for money.

Lovely smell. Worked well on shorter hair, easy to rinse and was impressive on yellow stains. Bottle is easy to grip, although it wasn’t clear how much to use. The difference in the coat was amazing after just one wash.

Pleasant smelling shampoo with a great whitening effect that removed stains and brightened the coat, even when used sparingly. Cap is simple to use and, although large, the bottle is easy to grip even when wet. Works into the coat and rinses well.

Smells wonderful, lifts stains and whitens the coat easily and effectively. Produced a decent lather that rinsed away quickly and we love that the ingredients are all natural. Easy-to-use pump bottle helped to reduce waste.

Smells like coconut and whitens well, even when used sparingly. Lifts grime and rinses out of the coat easily. The bottle is sturdy and user-friendly, making it perfect for a quick bath, and the product is clear, so you don’t need to worry about stained hands.

Wasn’t strongly fragranced. Brightened whites and lifted grease, removing stains effectively when used liberally. The shampoo had a thick consistency that tended to slide off the hair, which made it easier to use when diluted with warm water. 

Mild and fresh-smelling. Gave better results when applied to the coat directly and, when used in this way, it worked well at lifting stains and whitening hairs. Gentle but effective, the shampoo was able to be used on horses with sensitive skin, too.

Pleasant, fruity scent and a little went a long way. Took quite a lot of rinsing, but lifted grease and dirt effectively in a single use. Flip cap is easy to use. Not the best for targeted stain removal but gave the coat a really thorough clean nonetheless.

Coconut-smelling product that lathered and rinsed well. Left coats sparkling clean, removing grease and stains quickly and effectively. Runny product came out fast and could lead to wastage, but it’s amazing value.

Appealing smell, though the large bottle is a little awkward to handle. The shampoo itself is very effective, removed stains easily and brightened the coat. Once dry, hair was soft, fluffy and smelled great. Lathers and rinses out well.

Lovely smell. Thick consistency that was hard to work into the coat, but you didn’t need to use much to get fantastic results. Brightened and whitened fairly well for a budget price and the bottle is very sturdy, standing up well to yard life.

Fantastically budget-friendly with a neutral smell. Lathered up and whitened well enough, but would need several washes to attack ground-in, stubborn yellow stains. A little goes a long way and packaging is sturdy so stood up well to life on the yard.

Pleasant-smelling. It lifted stains well and left the coat brilliantly white, but was a little sticky and difficult to wash out of feathers. Cap worked well, but the bottle was slippery to hold. Best used diluted with water, but left whites bright and clean.

Minimal product achieved impressive results – the shampoo stripped away grease and brightened the coat. It has a strong, vibrant colour that doesn’t need to be used in large amounts or left on for long. Bottle design makes it easy to use sparingly.

Unscented. An extremely effective product that produced dazzling results despite a longer rinsing time. The screw-cap lid isn’t the easiest to use and could lead to wastage, but the bottle is very robust so perfect to have around the yard.
