Smells that a fly does not sit down - Horse odor masking shampoo 500ml
- 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.
A horse shampoo with an aromatic composition of oils
Horse sweat and the skin's natural secretions have an intense odour that attracts flies, mosquitoes and other insects. The shampoo masks the horse's natural odour with a blend of essential oils, so 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 off the coat and at the same time leaves a layer of essential oils on it. Once the coat has dried, the composition of oils stays on it and masks the horse's natural scent. 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 I use Too Fresh for Flies shampoo?
Apply the shampoo to the damp coat and hair with a sponge or a brush. Work it in until it lathers, leave it on for about 5 minutes and then rinse thoroughly with water. Heavily soiled areas need 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 to use a shampoo with essential oils?
The product is particularly useful in summer, when the horse's strong odour is most noticeable. It is recommended before outdoor training, 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 the humidity of the air 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 has a moisturising action 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 the reaction over a few 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 you spray onto the dry coat and can apply quickly, without washing. The two products can be used together for a stronger odour-masking effect against insects.
