Care products for horses: How to properly care for skin, coat and hooves

Proper care of your horse is crucial for its well-being and health. From a shiny coat to healthy hooves and smooth skin - with the right care products you can do a lot of good for your horse. But which product is best for your horse? In this article you will find out which care products are essential and how to use them correctly to provide your horse with the best possible care.

Coat care: Shiny coat with the right care products

A shiny coat is a sign of a healthy horse. But not only a balanced diet contributes to this, coat care also plays an important role.

Brushing and grooming – the basis of coat care

Brushing and grooming help to remove dirt and dead skin cells. This type of care also stimulates blood circulation and promotes your horse's well-being. For optimal coat care, you should use different types of brushes:

• Curry comb: Removes coarse dirt and incrustations.
• Hair brushes: Smooth the coat and give it a natural shine.
• Soft brushes: Are particularly suitable for sensitive areas of the body.

In addition to regular brushing, you should also look for special coat care products for horses. They can help to protect the coat and make it shine even more. Special coat sprays also protect against dust and dirt.

Skin care for horses: protection against irritations and infections

Not only the coat, but also the skin of your horse needs regular care. Thorough skin care is essential, especially in summer when insects and UV radiation put strain on the horse.

What to do if you have skin problems?

Horses are prone to skin irritations, especially in the wet seasons or when not cared for properly. Parasites, fungal infections or allergic reactions are not uncommon. To protect and care for the skin, you should use special care products for sensitive horse skin. These products often contain soothing ingredients that help relieve irritation and promote healing.

Healing skin care products can also help with existing skin problems such as mud fever or eczema. Regularly checking your horse's skin and using suitable care products can help to identify and treat skin diseases at an early stage. The skin around the mouth and nostrils is particularly sensitive. Special ointments that keep the area supple and healthy are suitable here, such as our Mouth Butter Plus.

Hoof care: Healthy hooves – a must for every horse

Your horse's hooves bear its entire weight and are therefore of central importance for its health. Regular hoof care and the right care products are therefore essential. This is the only way to avoid unsightly hoof diseases that can be caused by dirt and bacteria.

Hoof ointment for strong and healthy hooves

Dryness, cracks or brittle hooves - these are problems that every horse can have sooner or later. Special hoof care products such as hoof oil or hoof ointment - such as our Exclusive Hoof Ointment - can help to keep the hooves healthy and give them the necessary elasticity.

• Hoof oil: Keeps the hooves supple and protects against drying out.
• Hoof ointment: Nourishes the hoof and strengthens the horn to make it more resistant.

Remember that hoof care should not only be supported by the right products, but above all by regular cleaning. Remove dirt and stones daily with a hoof pick to prevent injuries and diseases.

Mane and tail care: How to keep long hair healthy

A well-groomed mane and a strong tail are not only beautiful to look at, they are also important for protection against insects and weather conditions. Regular combing and suitable care products play a central role here.

mane and tail sprays for easy combing

Manes and tails tend to get matted quickly, especially in horses that spend a lot of time outdoors in the paddock. A mane and tail spray like our Hair Care Pro helps to loosen knots and prevents the hair from breaking when combing. Special sprays also give your horse's long hair a silky shine.

• Detangling sprays: Make combing and detangling even stubborn knots easier.
• Care sprays: Protect hair from drying out and give it shine.

Regular use of appropriate care products ensures that the mane and tail remain healthy and strong. Our Hair Care Pro is a real all-rounder and combines detangling and caring properties.

Proper care with the right care products keeps your horse healthy and happy

Caring for your horse is an essential part of its well-being. With the right care products, you can keep the skin, coat, hooves, mane and tail healthy and protect your horse from unnecessary health problems. It is important to match the products to the individual needs of your horse. And: more is not always better. Use a few good products. A nice side effect of caring for your horse: your bond is guaranteed to be strengthened even more through a regular care routine.
