Horse & Mane Shampoo

Top Considerations 

For Choosing Equine Grooming Products

Whether your horses are for work, show, or rodeo, you want them to look their best and feel comfortable, too. Choosing the right horse shampoo can help you achieve the gorgeous, healthy sheen you’re looking for while ensuring your horse’s skin and coat remain healthy. 

When you’re choosing horse shampoo and conditioner for your horse or herd, start your search with reputable brands, such as Bio-Groom, known for producing high-quality equine care products using natural ingredients. Get recommendations from people you trust, like other horse owners or your vet.

Opt for Horse-Specific Formulas

Human or dog shampoos can contain ingredients that might dry or even irritate a horse’s unique skin. To get the best results without compromising your horse’s health and safety, use shampoos specifically designed for horses.

  • pH Balance: Horses have a different skin pH than humans. Ensure the shampoo you choose is pH-balanced for horses to prevent discomfort. Bio-Groom’s cleansers are pH-balanced to enhance, not strip, the natural, protective oils on a horse’s skin and coat.

 

  • Skin Sensitivity and Conditions: If your horse has sensitive skin or specific skin conditions, such as dermatitis or fungal infections, opt for medicated or hypoallergenic shampoos made of quality, natural ingredients to soothe inflammation, redness, and itching.

Look for Ethically-Sourced Natural Ingredients

Look for equine shampoo and conditioner with natural ingredients like coconut oil, lanolin, lavender, or oatmeal which are gentle and soothing. Bio-Groom’s cleansers are made from renewable and 100% biodegradable coconut oil sources.

Select the Right Formula

Just like shampoos and conditioners for humans, grooming products for horses also have specific formulas to achieve particular results. Purchase equine shampoo and conditioner that will help you achieve your goals.

  • General Cleansing: For regular use to maintain cleanliness.
  • Whitening: For horses with white or light-colored coats.
  • Waterless Formulas: For quick touch-ups or cold weather cleaning.
  • Conditioning: To add shine and manageability to the coat.

Pick a Product That Rinses Easily

Choose a shampoo that rinses out easily to avoid residue, which can leave your horse’s coat looking dull and lifeless or even cause itching and irritation. Our shampoos are concentrated, so we don’t add useless thickening agents that make it difficult to achieve a clean rinse. Bio-Groom concentrated shampoos may be diluted—with up to 8 parts water—to promote easy rinsing.

Go Easy on the Fragrance

Every horse is unique. Strong perfumes can irritate a horse’s skin and overwhelm its heightened sense of smell. Some even have sensitivities or allergies to added fragrances. Mild, natural fragrances, such as lavender, are preferable. 

Consider Seasonal Options

In colder weather, use a shampoo that doesn’t require a lot of water to rinse off to prevent your horse from getting too cold. Bio-Groom offers a waterless formula that’s perfect for fall/winter applications as well as for quick touch-ups on show days.
