The cold weather, rain and icy winds of the winter months can play havoc with the skin of our horses and ponies often causing their skin to become dry, tight and flaky and their coat to lose its shine. With so many products on the market what can horse owners add to their equine’s skincare regime to help improve the quality of their skin and coat in a truly natural way?
Aloe Vera is a well-known natural plant product which has been used in human and animal medicine alike for hundreds of years. Sometimes described as the “wonder plant” the cultivated short-stemmed shrub produces succulent leaves from which a gel like substance can be obtained. This gelatinous, natural substance is believed to bring about many health benefits including providing antioxidants and offering skin soothing, softening and moisturising properties.
As part of the Showman range, Wahl has created its Aloe Vera Soothe Shampoo, ideal for the winter months to calm equine skin irritations, cleanse the skin and coat, while also lifting grease to leave the coat clean, soft and manageable.
Based on natural ingredients Wahl Aloe Soothe Shampoo contains no harmful detergents or cleansers whilst providing a professional high concentrate formula of 15:1 meaning only minimal quantities are required. The perfectly balanced shampoo includes Aloe Vera Gel designed to soothe and cool the skin, avocado and coconut to moisturise and wheat extract to deodorise the coat.
Rich in vitamin E and C the Wahl Aloe Soothe Shampoo can help to promote healthy, glossy and itch free skin for your horses and ponies. In addition horse owners can rest assured that this product will be kind and sensitive to even the most sensitive of equines; crucially important when you are bathing your equine on a regular basis.
Available in a 500 ml bottle or 5 litre container with pump dispenser the Wahl Aloe Vera Soothe Shampoo can be purchased online today, prices start at £6.49. Simply visit www.wahlstore.co.uk or call 01227 740066 for more information.
