Looking for products to care for your horse? At Zoomalia, you will find everything needed to maintain its mane, hooves, and ensure its overall well-being.
By following the right horse care provided, your mount can easily live alongside you for 25 to 30 years. Its classification also affects its life expectancy if it is a pasture horse, a racehorse, or a resting horse.
Did you know that the body odor of horses attracts insects? When they cling to its hair, they can cause irritations or lead to an infection. Similarly, their stings can cause injuries or cuts. All this can be avoided with careful and regular brushing.
Beyond the health aspect, regularly brushing your horse is an excellent way to strengthen the bond between you. Its well-being serves as a barometer and naturally influences the performance expected by its rider.
Despite its average weight of 300 kg, the horse is particularly fragile. As an attentive owner, your care should focus on four specific areas:
To ensure the rider takes care of their mount, they must provide specific care to their horse:
Taking care of your horse means ensuring its physical and mental well-being, reducing its anxiety, and maintaining its body hygiene and that of its habitat.
With a soft brush, remove dirt, dust, and dried mud that soils its coat. Be careful to brush in the direction of the hair. To clean the mane and tail, often tainted by stuck hay remnants, use a mane brush or a comb.
To avoid tangles in the mane, use a detangling spray. During competitions, polish the coat to give it a shiny, silky and smooth appearance. Whenever possible, do not shorten the hair, only exceptionally. It is highly recommended to keep them long and natural.
Wash your horse only once a month. The coat provides optimal protection for the horse’s skin, which is why it is crucial not to wash it too frequently to avoid removing its natural and protective oily film. Refer to our adapted shampoos.
If your horse lives in the paddock outdoors, it may retain dirt crusts that protect against insects (wild horses clean naturally under rain, sun, and wind and practice mutual grooming). However, pay attention to mud fever and high humidity levels in its stable.
On the other hand, a leisure horse, equipped with saddles and bridles, must be impeccably clean under its accessories to avoid any forms of irritation.
To keep its hooves clean, pick them with a suitable non-metal brush. Remove well the clods of dirt, then apply hoof grease after cleaning and removing dirt to hydrate and nourish the hoof. If your steed is sport-oriented, apply a suitable tendon recovery product.
Whether it’s a draft horse, a racehorse, a paddock horse, retired, or a young foal, our care products are perfectly adapted to its well-being for daily use. They are designed to protect the skin and coat of your mount, as well as its hooves. Moreover, the food supplements internally reinforce the horse’s organism when it truly needs it.
