Horse Care Products: Natural Grooming, Hygiene and Daily Care for Your Horse

Keeping your horse healthy involves much more than proper nutrition and training. Regular care of the skin, coat, hooves, legs, eyes, nostrils and mane is essential to maintain your horse's comfort, health and performance throughout the year.

At Arbalou Soins, we have developed a complete range of French-made natural horse care products, formulated by pharmacists to meet every aspect of your horse's daily care routine. From grooming and skin care to hoof protection, insect control and muscle recovery, our products help keep your horse healthy, comfortable and performing at its best.

Grooming: The Foundation of Horse Care

Daily grooming is much more than keeping your horse clean. It is the ideal opportunity to identify small problems before they become more serious.

During grooming, you may notice:

• Heat around a tendon or joint.
• Small cuts or wounds.
• Areas of skin irritation.
• Cracked or brittle hooves.
• Itching or rubbing of the mane and tail.
• Swelling or unusual sensitivity.

No product can replace the value of careful daily observation. Horse care products are designed to complement this routine by providing targeted support whenever needed.

Why Is Healthy Skin Important?

The skin is your horse's first natural defence against the environment.

Healthy skin helps to:

• Protect against bacteria and external irritants.
• Regulate body temperature.
• Maintain the skin's natural barrier.
• Support overall comfort.

For these reasons, horse skin should remain clean, well hydrated and cared for using products specifically formulated for equine skin.

Gentle Cleansing

Arbalou C'est Clean is a natural antiseptic solid soap made with organic chamomile hydrosol, coconut oil and tea tree.

It gently cleanses the skin while preparing it for additional topical care.

Our shampoo range includes:

• Arbalou Dermacalm for sensitive, irritated skin and horses prone to sweet itch.
• Light Coat Shampoo for grey and white horses.
• Dark Coat Shampoo for bay and black horses.

Each formula respects the natural pH of your horse's skin

Seasonal Horse Care

Your horse's skincare needs change throughout the year.
