Best sunblock for a very pink nose?!

[ellerslie83]

What is the best sunblock around for a grey horse with a VERY pink muzzle area ?

Also he's hogged and the skin showing through is very pink so could I rub something into that too? Would it be better to let his mane grow as this might protect it?!

Boots' own, Soltan factor 50. Really thick, works and stays on well.

Any childrens waterproof factor 50 sun block.

I tried kids sunblock on a very pink nose and all sorts of homemade veils. The best thing was to bring them in on sunny days. Helped with sunburn and grass intake.

I use Bananaboat kids factor 50 as nice and think (and smells nice! )

any kids factor 50 and a fly mask with a nose section.

I use Johnsons baby suncream factor 50 and its great. Put it on first thing in the morning and it does all day. I put it on his hog too cos that gets sunburnt. I have tried alsorts of others, horse and human but always go back to that.

Naf Sunshield is great, it stays on for days! Or buy a nose net/ fly mask with nose cover x

Also definitely protect his crest or let it grow, the pink skin exposed by hogging can burn horribly.

Another vote for Sudocrem, stays on is cheap and works really well.

 

[tallyho!]

Any baby sunblock but factor 50 I found not strong enough. You can get factor 80 abroad so maybe try Internet...

Another here for sudacreme. I have a grey with a very pink nose. Excellent. Factor 50 never worked for us it alway burn him.

v good - most probably the later!!!

I use kid sun block and recently suda cream but neither stay on because the fields so wet.

I've seen NetTex Sun Protector - any experience any one?

I'm using factor 60 on my mare, I think it's ambre solaire. It's really good though - I've found the horse ones make her itchy and sore, leading her to rub her nose, but she's okay with this one. In really hot weather though, my advice is always to bring in for the hottest hours of the day if possible. Not that this has been an issue this year

Had a horse with a very pink nose and got fed up with applying lotions which he wiped off after so used this and it was brilliant.

This^^

sudocrem!

Surely that's oily and will burn?

Get a fly mask with a uv nose piece or turn out at night and in during the day.

You've got enough sun to need sunblock?

Try a block skiing sunscreen. It dosent come off easily and is very effective.

Fly mask which covers the nose/muzzle area!
