Recently reading an article about being more sustainable as a horse owner and the amount of water we use 💦
💜 AlvaClease - NO rinse wash 🧼 will help us to achieve this. Just ONE bucket of water will allow you to wash down after riding, clean up a mucky tail without the need for shampooing and rinsing with a hose.
It cleans and cleanses leaving them soft and shiny reducing the amount of times you need to bath and hose off. Perfect for on the spot stain removal at the show ground too.

Mud fever

It will come as no surprise that there are seeing a large number of horses with mud fever at the moment.

This is a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Dermatophilus congolensis. During wet conditions the skin is softened, allowing the bacteria to take hold, causing inflammation and scab formation. The bacteria live under the scabs so it is vital that you remove these, usually through a combination of clipping the legs and soaking them with an antibacterial wash (our TeaTree shampoo in a bucket of water does this). If there are widespread scabs or they are difficult to remove, don’t be tempted to pull them off or you may damage the underlying skin. Apply miracle cream to the legs, then a layer of clingfilm and a stable bandage. Leave overnight and this will soften the scabs allowing them to be more easily removed. Once the legs are clean and dry apply an antibacterial cream twice daily until healed. Miracle cream with its TeaTree content does this well.

There are a number of measures you can take to try and prevent mud fever getting a hold. Use AlvaBarrier on the legs when turning out and clean the legs thoroughly when bringing the horse in. Try to avoid excessive washing or over vigorous scrubbing as this can exacerbate the problem. In horses with thick feathers mite control is also very important as this can predispose them to mud fever and other associated conditions.

AlvaBarrier combines essential oils with our unique coat conditioner. The formulation helps protect a horse's coat, reducing the problems caused by the mud and rain.

Let’s get technical - how does it work?Upon application to the skin, AlvaBarrier forms a protective film on the surface while still allowing the skin to “breathe”. Oxygen, nitrogen, and other nutrients can still pass through the film. However, AlvaBarrier does not allow water to pass through, which is an ideal quality for preventing dry, dehydrated skin. We also added essential oils such as tea tree oil to help ensure skin does not become irritated.

This product is a winter favourite, especially if you want to protect feathers.☀☀
