Flies love dust and sweat so giving your horse a thorough bath is an important part of any fly control strategy ⬇

🫧Use our everyday conditioning shampoo to give coats a thorough clean.
It’s low foam, easy rinse and pH neutral so it does not strip the coat of its natural oils!
🪰Then apply a fly repellent like our Fly Repellent Advanced

How are you keeping flies at bay?

That amazing feeling when all that schooling pays off and horse and rider just click! Here’s Nettex’s equine specialist, Serena Kidd putting Buzz through his paces and getting back into the swing of things.

He’s been out of the show ring for a few years following surgery, but Serena is keen to get him out and competing again this month. The fact he’s not spooking at the judge’s box is a big improvement! The plan is to do unaffiliated dressage 🐴

If you haven’t got time to give your horse a full bath, why not try a no rinse wash? 🐴
It’s a great way to refresh the coat, cool horses down during the heat and remove dirt, sweat and grease. One of our no-rinse washes also includes citronella to support your summer coat care routine.

⬇Simply;
Add 4-5 caps full to a bucket of water
Sponge on, massage in
Sweat scrape off
No need to rinse! Job done!

Many paddocks across the country are looking scorched and burnt from the exceedingly dry and hot weather. 🐴☀

It means many of us are having to feed more hay and hard feed to keep horses full. As well as the lack of grass, what is available may be low in essential vitamins and minerals required for optimal performance and wellbeing. With that in mind, it’s worth supplementing with Gut Balancer which includes a full vitamin and mineral package. The pre, pro and post biotic is also a great way to support a horse’s natural gut microbiome and help prevent digestive upsets.
After all, happy gut = happy horse!

🐴With dwindling forage supplies after last year’s drought, many of us are having to feed fresh new season hay immediately. If you are, it’s important to introduce it slowly to avoid digestive upsets.

Nettex’s equine specialist, Serena Kidd advises:
• Mix old with new if possible 50:50 in hay nets.
• Soak before feeding to reduce sugar content for 1-2 hours.
• Feeding the pre, pro and postbiotic Gut Balancer to support digestive health.
