Good Natural Product

I tried the orange and peppermint horse oil as I was looking for a more natural product. It does make my horses tail easier to brush as being a cob it is quite thick. I also use on his feathers and find the only down side is the white on his legs turns black with being on rubber matting.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and glad you like the horse oil. You shouldn't get any staining after using but if you, try applying less as applying too much is the most likely reason for this. As a guideline, hair/feather shouldn't look oily after application.

All my best,

A-MAY-ZING!

All I can say is this product is A-MA-ZING! I’ve battled with my boys thrushy hooves forever, even through the summer it wouldn’t clear up! I have used the frog and sole saviour every morning for 2 weeks and his frogs finally look healthy again! 🤩 My farrier is coming and I can’t wait to show the results. I have little faith in products nowadays and I’m very sceptical, but this is next level - I noticed a difference the day after the first application. Don’t hesitate to give it a try, I’m recommending it to everyone on the yard! Thank you for making such an effective (and natural!) product, I’m going to be trying more hedgewitch very soon 😊

It’s been a nightmare dealing with flies of all sorts shapes and sizes this year

It’s been a nightmare dealing with flies of all sorts shapes and sizes this year . I’ve been through my cupboard and tried everything else on site .This is the only one that gave me cause to smile as the second I sprayed it the flies were gone and they didn’t chance a quick check .
