Our horse oils are plant-based, sustainable alternatives to pig oil, made specifically to meet the needs of horses. All are suitable for protecting legs and feather from mud and wet conditions, as grooming aids, and as a long-lasting mane and tail conditioner/detangler.

Contains lemongrass and bay laurel leaf essential oils, which possess antibacterial and antifungal properties and are particularly effective at preventing mud fever or rain scald. Horse oil can also be used to deter feather mites. Used 2-3 times a week, horse oil will also help support the health and resilience of your horse’s skin through the winter months.

Multiple uses:

  • protects from mud and wet conditions
  • helps protect from mites & mud fever
  • alleviates itching
  • shines & conditions
  • detangles with a longer-lasting effect than silicone sprays
  • aids grooming
  • aids effortless clipping, eliminating 'lines'

Horse oil can be used on feather and legs to protect them from the effects of mud and wet, help prevent ‘bog burn’ and mud fever, and help discourage mites. 

Horse oil can also be applied sparingly to the coat, mane, and tail to leave the hair silky, shiny, and tangle-free—we advise spritzing using our trigger spray or adding it sparingly to a bucket of warm water as a 'hot oil' application.

Sustainably sourced—made from the oil found in coconuts sourced from sustainable plantations. The coconut oil is heated to separate out the long-chain fatty acids and produce a very light, food-grade oil—using no chemicals in the extraction process. The resulting non-greasy oil is easily absorbed by the skin and moisturises without blocking pores.

Hedgewitch horse oil is 100% plant-based and can be used in exactly the same way as pig oil but without the carbon footprint (pig oil is white oil from petrochemicals).

Magic oil

I purchased this last winter after it was recommended to me when my gelding got mud fever. It was incredible. Cleared up quickly I also used it on his mane and tails and could t believe how much it helped with regrowth :grinning_face_with_star_eyes: added guilt free bonus it is all natural. Really impressed with hedwitch and would recommend their products to anyone !
