Horse Showers & Wash Wands: Refreshment and Care in the Stable

Especially on hot summer days or after strenuous training, a cool shower is a real treat for the horse. It not only cleans the coat of sweat and stubborn dirt but also effectively cools tendons and joints. With professional equipment, hosing down at the wash bay becomes safe, water-saving, and highly comfortable for humans and animals.

Safety Through Swivel Shower Arms

Water hoses lying around are a major tripping hazard at the wash bay. For an optimally equipped area, a permanently installed horse shower with a swivel arm is the best solution. Models that are variably adjustable from 1.2 to 2.3 meters guide the hose safely from above over the horse. This enables easy one-handed operation and prevents the horse from accidentally stepping on the hose.

Hand Showers and Nourishing Salt Showers

A continuously adjustable hand shower, where the water flow can be precisely adapted, ensures pinpoint cleaning. Wash wands with a robust brass insert are particularly durable. They often offer multiple spray patterns – from a gentle mist for the sensitive horse's head to a hard jet for extremely dirty hooves. An innovative addition for skin care is the salt shower. This system can be easily connected to the garden hose and enriches the water with valuable minerals through salt sticks, which can alleviate annoying itching and noticeably soothe the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use a hand shower with multiple spray patterns?
Horses react very differently to water pressure on different parts of their bodies. While the legs can tolerate a harder jet to cool the tendons, the belly, flanks, and especially the neck need a very gentle shower jet. An adjustable nozzle allows this smooth change with just one hand.

Which horses is a salt shower particularly suitable for?
The salt shower is an excellent solution for horses with skin problems, such as sweet itch or a tendency to dandruff. The minerals dissolved in the water clean deep into the pores, have a disinfecting effect, and can effectively relieve severe itching.

How high should the swivel arm be mounted?
The swivel arm should be mounted high enough so that even the largest horse in the stable can walk under it without bumping its ears or poll. Usually, a mounting height of at least 2.50 meters above the ground is recommended.
