Best sun cream for horses?

[liannexsx]

My 2 year old filly has a touch of sunburn already
thought before i order a new bottle, if anyone uses anything thats good and stays on?
she's quite difficult to get it on and she's mahoosive and i'm wee so ideally something thats stays on! last year i used banana boat etc, really just used highest factor i could get and she was ok but there may well be something better out there...
thank you x

yep - kids factor 50 - get the long lasting one... new one on the market now (blue one) looks like it may last the longest. Off to get a bottle of that when my old one runs out.

Deffo recommend the kids sun sticks. They are really high factors, very thick, creamy and waterproof so stay on for ages, they come in bright colours so you know where you have put it and as they in a stick and not a cream you don't get it all over your hands, clothes, feet, grass, bottle etc etc!!!

You can get them in Boots, most supermarkets but the cheapest I've found are on Ebay. I paid £3.00 (inc postage!!) for 2 sticks and that lasts me nearly 2 months!!!

I tried human products for ages, but have now decided that this stuff is best:

I only need to put it on my mare once a day (out 24/7), despite her being determined to try and smoother it straight back on me, it soaks in and really does the job. Not pricey either.

I found Gold Label sunblock to be the best, the human ones just didn't stay on

We use Nivea factor 50 (kids one) seems to stay on too

I tend to swap brands but so long as they're kids factor 50+ and they're waterproof they all seem okay, I just go with whatever has the best offer on! Never tried the sticks, may give them a go, especially the coloured ones as I can see the benefit of them actually!!

Have tried various ones, last week in the heatwave i bought some Tesco's own factor 50 for £2.97 which was a bargain! and it has worked brilliantly on 2 of mine that have very pink noses!

Just bought a stick of boots own factor 50. She was happy to get that on. Normally we are running backward from cream! And I'm clean!!! Only thing was it's clear but so easy to put on it didn't matter. And it was bog of so two for a fiver

P20 is awesome - expensive but it lasts all day. I use it too!

Nettex Sun Block, stays on really well and protects the pink bits just fine
