Question 1

What are the benefits of horse shampoo and conditioner?

Accepted Answer

The benefits of horse shampoo and conditioner include a cleaner and shinier coat and a more manageable mane and tail. Horse shampoos and conditioners provide a safe and effective way to get your horse clean and looking his best for events and everyday activities. There are also special medicated horse shampoos that help treat fungal and bacterial skin infections and horse conditioner products for detangling the mane and tail.

Question 2

Can horses use human shampoo and conditioner?

Accepted Answer

Horses can sometimes use human shampoo and conditioner, but some experts recommend against it. Although horse and human skin pH levels are similar, it is usually best to use horse shampoo and conditioner to reduce the risk of allergies or irritation. Horse shampoos and conditioners can also be a better choice because many have cosmetic and health benefits tailored specifically for horses. You can find horse shampoos with coat brightening ingredients and medicated options for horses with skin issues. Many horse conditioners are formulated to give horses a brilliant shine for shows and events, too.

Question 3

How do I use horse shampoo and conditioner?

Accepted Answer

Use horse shampoo and conditioner according to the directions on the label. Bathing horses usually begins with a good brushing, followed by a thorough rinse to dampen the horse's coat. Mix the shampoo with water in a bucket, or apply it directly, and use a sponge to lather up your horse's coat, mane and tail. Start low and work upward and outward, taking care to be gentle with the face, backside and genital areas. Then, promptly and thoroughly rinse your horse's coat and follow up with a conditioner. Many horse conditioners are made to be used primarily on the mane and tale, while others are formulated for use all over. The horse conditioner you are using may be a leave-in or rinse-off formula, so read the directions for proper use.

Question 4

What are the best horse shampoos and conditioners?

Accepted Answer

The best horse shampoos and conditioners are those that leave your horse clean, healthy and shiny. Look for moisturizing formulas that soothe skin and enhance the coat's natural sheen. The best horse shampoos and conditioners for lighter horses often contain coat brighteners and color enhancers for a beautiful glow. Horses with skin issues like itching, irritation and infections may benefit from a medicated horse shampoo. Detangling conditioners are often best for the mane and tale, while whole-body finishing conditioner sprays impart softness and a brilliant sheen. The best horse conditioners will have a non-slip finish so you can safely use them in the saddle area, too.
