Horse skin and coat

Pro‑Equine’s natural, plant‑based grooming range gives owners a way to support coat condition, maintain skin comfort, and keep horses looking their best.
With that in mind, this guide focuses on cleansing, conditioning, comfort, and coat appearance, using Pro‑Equine’s popular products as examples.

🌿 Why Natural Grooming Matters
Natural grooming products are increasingly popular because they:

🐴 Building a Supportive Skin & Coat Routine
Here’s how to incorporate these products into a natural, VMD‑compliant grooming routine.

Step 1: Daily Brushing for Coat Brightness
Start with a curry comb to lift dust and stimulate natural oils, then follow with a soft brush. This helps maintain a smooth, glossy appearance and keeps the coat feeling pleasant.
Optional boost:
A light mist of Neem Horse Spray (£24.85 ★★★★☆) before brushing helps freshen the coat and makes grooming easier.

Step 2: Quick Freshen‑Up Between Rides
For horses living out or working regularly, a natural spray helps maintain coat freshness. Neem‑based sprays are especially popular for outdoor horses.
Recommended:
Neem Horse Spray & Refill Pack — great value and easy to use daily.

Step 3: Weekly or Fortnightly Wash
A gentle shampoo helps lift sweat, dirt, and grease without stripping natural oils. Pro‑Equine’s neem shampoos (typically around £10–£15) are known for being easy to rinse and leaving the coat looking bright.
Tip:
Follow with a conditioning spray or a few drops of Neem Oil (£11.50–£27.49 ★★★★☆) for added softness.

Step 4: Conditioning for Shine
Conditioning sprays or light oils help smooth the hair shaft and enhance natural shine. Neem oil blends are especially effective for maintaining coat softness.
Try:
A small amount of Pro‑Equine Neem Oil worked through the mane and tail for a silky finish.

Step 5: Skin‑Comfort Support
After clipping, exercise, or rugging, some areas may benefit from extra hydration or soothing.
Aloe Vera & Manuka Gel (£17.11 ★★★★☆) is ideal for this, offering a cooling, softening feel on the skin.

Step 6: Seasonal Adjustments
• Winter: More mud, more rugs — consider the Neem Skincare Pack (£68.00 ★★★★☆) for all‑round support.
• Spring: Shedding season — use neem spray to keep the coat fresh.
• Summer: Sweat and dust — aloe gel and neem oil help maintain softness and shine.
• Autumn: Coat changes — regular conditioning keeps the coat manageable.
