Smells that a fly does not sit down - Horse odor masking shampoo 100ml
- A horse shampoo that cleans while masking horse odor. Ideal for summer, training and competition - cleanliness and freshness in one.
Too Fresh for Flies is a vegan horse shampoo that washes the coat and at the same time masks the horse's natural odour with a blend of essential oils, making the horse less attractive to flies, mosquitoes and other insects. D-panthenol looks after the condition of the coat and the skin.
Horse shampoo with an aromatic blend of oils
Horse sweat and the skin's natural secretions have a strong odour that attracts flies, mosquitoes and other insects. The shampoo masks the horse's natural odour with a blend of essential oils, so that the coat becomes less attractive to insects.
How does a horse shampoo with essential oils work?
As you wash, the shampoo cleans dirt and sweat from the coat and at the same time leaves a layer of essential oils on it. Once it has dried, the coat holds a blend of oils that masks the horse's natural odour. How long the effect lasts depends on the horse and on the weather. D-panthenol additionally moisturises the skin and conditions the hair, leaving the coat smooth and glossy.
How do you use Too Fresh for Flies shampoo?
Apply the shampoo to a damp coat and hair with a sponge or a brush. Work it in until it lathers, leave it for about 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water. Heavily soiled places call for more vigorous washing. Avoid contact with the eyes and the mucous membranes. Before first use, carry out a patch test on a small area of skin.
When should you use a shampoo with essential oils?
The product is ideal in the summer season, when the horse's strong odour is at its most noticeable. It is recommended before training outdoors, before competitions and on hot days. It can be used as the only shampoo for regular washing, or alternated with other Doctor Horse products.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the odour-masking effect last after washing?
How long the effect lasts depends on the horse and on the weather. How heavily the horse sweats, the temperature and also the air humidity all play a part. On warmer days or with harder work, reapply as needed.
Can the shampoo be used on horses with sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula based on essential oils and D-panthenol is gentle on the skin. D-panthenol moisturises and supports the regeneration of the epidermis. With horses that have sensitive skin, carry out a patch test before first use. Apply a small amount of shampoo to a smaller section of the coat and watch for a reaction over several hours.
How does the shampoo differ from the Too Fresh for Flies mist?
The shampoo combines washing with odour masking, which is why you use it at bath time. The mist is a product for spraying onto a dry coat, which you can apply quickly, without washing. Both products can be used together for a stronger odour-masking effect against insects.
