Coat & Mane Care: Everything for a Shiny Horse

Coat and Mane Care: For a Radiant Shine and Healthy Skin

A shiny coat and a full, well-lying mane not only look beautiful in the show ring, but they are also the best indicator of your horse's health. With the right coat and mane care, you protect your horse's skin from drying out, soothe itching, and prevent painful knots in the long hair. Good care products support the skin's natural protective acid mantle and make daily grooming a relaxed wellness session for you and your animal.

Gentle Cleaning After Training

In summer or after a sweaty ride, a shower is a blessing. While clear water is often enough to wash off fresh sweat, dried dirt, sebum, or manure stains require special care. A conditioning shampoo tailored to the horse's pH value reliably washes out the dirt without attacking the skin or stripping it of its important, natural oils.

Knot-Free and Perfectly Styled

To ensure that the mane and tail do not thin out during brushing, combability is the alpha and omega. Conditioning sprays act like a protective film around the hair, repel fine dust, and instantly dissolve tangles. If you are heading to a competition at the weekend, elastic bands, clever braiding aids, and special mane scissors ensure that you can trim the tail cleanly and tame the mane into professional, tight braids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I use conventional shampoo for my horse?
Human skin is significantly more acidic than horse skin. If you use human shampoo or even dish soap, you destroy your horse's natural skin barrier. The result is dandruff, dry skin, and increased itching. Therefore, always use care products specially developed for horses.

How do I avoid hair breakage when combing the tail?
Never brush the tail dry when it is completely matted. First, use a detangling conditioning spray, let it work for a short time, and then carefully begin to brush out the tail from the tips upwards. It is even gentler to roughly separate thick knots with your fingers beforehand.

What helps with severe itching on the dock?
Itching can have many causes (e.g., insect bites, dry skin, or parasites). A gentle wash of the dock with a moisturizing shampoo or a special anti-itch spray with tea tree oil or aloe vera often soothes the irritated skin very quickly.
