Description
Your horses are probably starting to lose their winter coat, wo we all know exactly what’s coming.
Hair on their clothes. Hair up their nose. Hair somehow in places hair should never be.
And while good grooming tools absolutely help, there’s another trick that can make shedding season a whole lot easier.
Use a good hot oil.
When a horse is getting ready to drop it’s winter coat, the skin and hair follicles naturally become oilier. That sticky sebum can hang onto dead hair and make it harder for the old coat to release.
That’s where HSE Hot Oil Coat Conditioner comes in.
Oil helps soften and loosen that build-up around the hair, making it easier for the dead winter coat to come away naturally as you groom.
And unlike repeatedly shampooing, you’re not stripping all the natural oils out of the skin at exactly the time the new coat is coming through.
So while you’re helping get rid of the old fluffy coat, you’re also conditioning the skin and new hair underneath.
How to use it
For a really thorough treatment, dilute Hot Oil in warm water and sponge it through the coat, making sure you get right down to the skin.
Or, if it’s freezing and the thought of wet armpits isn’t appealing, mix it in a spray bottle and groom it through instead.
Then get brushing.
The grooming itself helps loosen the coat, while working the oil through the skin and hair.
And one important thing to remember when using hot oil…
Despite the name, Hot Oil doesn’t actually have to be hot.
Warm water is ideal because it helps the oil work into the coat and skin, but you can also apply it after exercise while your horse is still warm.
