Image: SafeCare Equine Total Body Wash means no soap suds! Grooming To Ditch The Itch Just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean your Dandy Brush should go into hibernation! Grooming is key part of good stable management and gives you the opportunity to thoroughly check over your horse for any minor nicks or scratches or swellings and treat them accordingly. It’s also great bonding time with your horse. Groom your horse regularly – his thicker winter coat still needs to keep condition and even clipped coats can become scurfy with lots of rug wear, so take time out to give him a thorough grooming and he’ll thank you for the Win scratch! You can still wash your horse during the winter, although not as often and not in zero degrees, but spot washing on stable stains and legs can be done using warm water and dry them off thoroughly. Our Safe-Care Total Body Wash has no foamers, meaning no soap suds – this results in less rinsing and just a bucket, sponge, sweat scraper and old clean towel will be all you need! That ‘scurf ’ under the hair can cause excessive itching that can lead to sweet itch or dry, irritated skin, so keep an eye out for changes to skin condition. Our Rapid Relief is a great product for Safe-Care Equine Safe-Care products are all-natural and plant based and with no artificial colours, or fragrances they won’t strip the coat of any natural oils making them perfect for winter use. See the full range of products at www.safecareequine.com soothing the area and promoting healthy skin repair and hair re-growth. Don’t over rug your horse – if your horse is stabled be careful you don’t use too many rugs. Check the temperature as too many extra layers can cause overheating and the inevitable itching. x2 Safe-Care Equine Winter Packs up for grabs!
