Know before you buy
Application frequency depends on your horse's environment and the severity of their skin issues. For general maintenance and protection against mites, a weekly application is typically sufficient, though you may need to apply it more frequently during wet, muddy conditions.
No, this is a ready-to-use formula. Simply shake the bottle thoroughly before each application to ensure the sulphur is evenly distributed throughout the oil, then apply directly to the skin and feathers.
Because it is an oil-based product, it will leave a greasy residue on the coat and feathers. It is best to wear gloves during application, and be aware that it can transfer to rugs or stable surfaces until it has fully absorbed.
It is generally recommended to avoid applying this product directly to broken, raw, or infected skin. If your horse has significant sores or open wounds, consult your veterinarian for appropriate treatment before using topical barrier products.
The oily barrier acts as a shield against moisture and mud, which are primary contributors to feather-related skin issues like mud fever. By keeping the skin dry and preventing debris from sticking to the hair, it helps maintain healthier skin and reduces breakage.
