Which shampoo is suitable for washing horses?
The skin of the horse protects it from the penetration of toxins and pollutants. In addition, there is sweat, which settles after training and thus not only itches unpleasantly, but also attracts flies and mosquitoes. Thus, the horse's skin is confronted with great challenges. So it is not wrong to clean it with a horse shampoo every now and then.
Shampoo suitable for horses should have the following properties:
- Gentle to the skin
- Ingredients adapted to the horse's pH value
- Moisturising
- Free of bleaching agents
- Contains little to no fragrance
Use only small amounts of shampoo so that no residue remains on the horse. Wash the shampoo out thoroughly with clear water and then scrape the horse with a sweat scraper. In our online shop you can also buy sweet itch shampoos, which can be used as a supportive treatment for itching and sweet itch.
However, you should not wash your horse too often with shampoo, as this will destroy the natural protective layer of the skin. A shower with water is usually sufficient.
You can gain detailed knowledge about horse skin care with the help of our horse care guide.

How do I get my grey horse clean again?
Grey horses and horses with very light colours have a habit of attracting dung and grass stains. These can be brushed out with a brush and water with a little more effort. For particularly stubborn stains, you can resort to whitening shampoo for horses. This special shampoo contains a certain amount of blue, which makes the light coat shine.
You can buy whitening shampoos and colour shampoos at Kramer Equestrian. These remove even stubborn stains without chlorine, but with ingredients that are adapted to the horse's pH value.
