"Absolutely loving this soap!! Fantastic for skin issues, very soothing of itches & hot skin! Makes the coat nice and shiny too!!" - Denise
"Used the soap on one of the dogs, she was dirty- really dirty! It cleaned her coat and skin with ease. Really like that it brought out the black in her coat. Needless to say so far even after only one wash I love it!" - Lynelle
"Clipped and washed one of the horses today trying out the new bar, it smells divine! He loved the massage and is nice and shiny. His mane is soo soft, turns out I don't even need conditioner now! He is really shiny, and my
own hands are nice and soft after bathing him. It's definitely a winner!" - Shevelle

FAQ
All your questions, answered.


The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
