Organic and Natural Horse Shampoo

This kind and gentle shampoo is beautifully scented with frankincense and sandalwood. The certified organic and natural formulation also contains aloe vera, calming and soothing for all breeds and types of ponies and horses. It washes effectively but gently and is easy to rinse out, leaving the hair silky and smooth. A 300ml bottle will last up to 40 washes.

The Conscious Equine shampoo is the first professionally, UK-made organic shampoo for horses to be certified organic by the Soil Association (one of the leading organic accreditation organisations in the world).

To clean/treat small areas - wet the area using a sponge and warm water, then squeeze a walnut-sized amount of shampoo onto the palm of your hand and dab it onto the area a little at a time. Gently massage the area, producing a lovely soft lather. You may need to add more product in the same manner, depending on the size of the area, the time of year and how much cleansing is required!
For a luxurious bath there are two different ways to give your horse a treat.
1. Wet your horse all over with warm (never hot) water, using either a sponge or a gentle shower. Squeeze a dollop of shampoo big enough to cover a 50p onto a dampened soft brush then gradually work it into your horse’s coat, adding more shampoo to the brush when needed depending on the size of your horse or pony, the time of year, and how dirty it is!

Now for the lovely bit – use the brush to massage deep into your horse’s coat taking care to avoid getting product or water in his/her eyes or ears. Take your time so that both you and your best friend can enjoy the soothing and calming effect of the sandalwood and frankincense essential oils.

2. Fill a bucket (or more, depending on the size of your best friend) with warm water, add approximately 30mls of shampoo and agitate gently to thoroughly mix. Use a sponge to apply the soapy water to your horse’s coat, then use a soft brush to massage and indulge both of you as described above.

Whichever method you use, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and use a scraper to remove excess liquid from the coat. You should never leave your horse wet, so this stage is very important. Ideally take your horse for a walk or gently lunge him/her until thoroughly dry and unless the weather is warm, use an appropriate rug to prevent your horse getting chilled when you return him/her to the stable.
