Baby's Sunblock for Pony?

[merlin100]

I bought some sunblock for my pony's muzzle.
Should this stuff be okay?

 

[Puzzled]

Use the barrier hygiene...think that's what it's called....specifically made for horses and much more effective in my opinion.

use bog standard factor 50 on ours.

well it was ice cream scented once because that was the only high factor boots had in october (liver issues).

Aldi, wilko any thing that 50+, is water resistant and cheap, do not pay for expensive ones.

Yes - it will be fine. Personally I avoid the very cheap ones as the protection factor is often very different from what it says on the bottle. But other than that any factor 50 - not necessarily baby formula - is fine. Anything with "horse" in the title will often be significantly more expensive than it needs to be! Actually so are many things which say "baby". Stick to a reasonable known brand if you have something really prone to burn. (WHICH tests are a good indicator). Otherwise - the cheaper the better!

This tube was only £3 from a major supermarket chain. I didn't want to go over the top, just in case it was a waste of money.

Instead of applying cream I bought a sun shield that attached to a field safe headcollar

Patch test first, before putting it all over the muzzle etc. - one of ours is allergic to suncream!

I use something called Filtabac cream( can buy from Amaz*n) and it is brilliant stuff, can use for minor cuts as well , it is antibacterial sunblock cream, you only need a bit and it does not wash off with rain
