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.

This rinse smells delicious and it also helped deter flies. I used it in cold and warm water and it performed well in both, leaving the coat shiny and nourished. It removed the sweat and grease easily and overall I really liked the product. I used it on several horses and none had any reaction to it. A little goes a long way and I will definitely continue to use it.

Equine America Lavender No-Rinse Body Wash

A blend of cruelty-, paraben- and sulphate-free ingredients to support skin affected by lumps, bumps, rashes and mild irritations.

£9.99 for 500ml

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.

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…

This product left my horse’s coat feeling soft and clean, and he smelt good, too. It’s easy to use – you simply add it to a bucket of warm water, apply, then scrape off any excess. I think it’s very good value for money and a little goes a long way. I found it was great to use after clipping to remove all the surplus hair, too.

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.

RRP
£6.99

Ezi-Groom Cooling Lavender Wash

A cooling, soothing formula that’s ideal for light-coloured horses and doesn’t need to be diluted.

£6.99 for 400ml

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.
