Do you put sun cream on your horses nose?

[RubysGold]

I was just thinking, seenas I have sunburn from forgetting to put suncream on. I have heard of people putting suncream on horses, do you do this to your horses?

I put suncream on Fin's nose because it is pink/white. I didn't ever need to with a black nose.

 

[RhiannonE]

Yep

They all have suncream at my yard -my friend's palamino is covered in the stuff!
A few of the "grey clan" have the protective uv net mask things that cover the horses whole head, nose etc which also seems to work (their horses got rid of the cream by rubbing it on each other...)

 

[lachlanandmarcus]

yep a lady at my old stables did that for her cream mare, who had a pink nose with spots, very high factor. it did seem to help a bit. She put on moisturiser first to stop the skin being so dry and then the sun cream.

 

[ester]

used to but it wouldn't last long enough so now he wears a full mask to stop him burning.

 

[Henbug]

yes only the one with the pink nose though, without it he burns really badly.

 

[nikicb]

Yes on our grey pony Milligan (he has a pink nose and it gets burnt if we don't) but not on my bay mare (she has no white markings on her face). Is that your horse in the picture, if so you probably should be. I use any of the high factors which are suitable for children - I feel if they're ok for my kids, they're ok for the pony!

 

[miss_c]

I did with Genie, but she rubs it off on the nearest hard thing and scratches her nose to pieces. So I bought her a full mask, which disappeared after a few hours never to be seen again... A few of those later and I've just given up!

 

[Eye_Spy]

yup- kids factor 60 waterproof one so it doesn't come off. Ponio had pink nose!

 

[4leggedfurries]

Yup a thick water resistant factor 50 gets smothered all over D's nose. Also put a full face mask on him as he burns to a crisp!

 

[ISHmad]

We do too, the kids ones are great

 

[Ranyhyn]

Yes Ed wears Fac50 nivea for kids. He has a pink nose. He has sudocreme applied to sooth any burns he gets too.

 

[yethersgill]

Used to on our Welsh section A-bright blue kiddies sunblock

but then changed to a full face mask as the little bugger was too good at rubbing it off!

 

[SunSmile]

Yep - well i try to anyway, pony doesnt agree its neccessary tho!

 

[BBH]

Well put it like this, I try to put sunscreen on ponio's nose but he won't allow it most of the time. He had third degree burns on his nose when I bought him and I think he remembers it hurts. Am getting the two year old used to it now although I can't say he enjoys it.

 

[welshied]

Yeah mine is in a mask if not his nose burns and start peeling etc

 

[Annagain]

Mine has a nose protector on a field safe headcollar but always gets out of it so I put factor 50 on his nose as well. I read a WHICH report the other day about sun cream and the best one was also the cheapest - £3 a bottle ASDA own brand.

 

[Cyberchick]

Yes always have done with the grey. I go to boots to get my sons suncream which is always a waterproof high factor block and get the buy one get one free. He has one and the horse has the other.

 

[JustKickOn]

Put sudocream on the grey girly's nose and then factor 30 sun cream.

 

[amycov]

Yes, on both. Although the Dun needs it more as he has a white face so lots of pink skin!

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

I put it on hovis (factor 50 kids cream) and then when it gets really hot he also gets his full face mask.

 

[Sophie0312]

Yes, because his nose is pink and burns really easily.
He doesn't like me putting it on, and often attempts to headbutt me, but I'd rather this than him having a burnt and blistered nose.

 

[Tickles]

Yes as it is pink. Hold small piece carrot in hand and have the cream on my fingers so he gets both at once! He is mostly Arab though and OH asked what they did in the (near) dessert in the wild... didn't have an answer for that. Anyone else got one?

 

[JoBo]

Yes, everyday because Bodey has a pink nose, use Factor 50 baby. Badger’s nose is black so no.

 

[Ellies_mum2]

When I can hold her head still long enough to get it on her and not all over me, yes I do as she has a pink nose

 

[kellyeaton]

yes cap is an appolossa x so molted skin and pink nose!

 

[Swift08]

Yes i use it for the monster or camrosa as his nose burns easily. It would be so useful if i could have his mask with a nose net on it but he seems t think masks with nose peices are evil so must be destroyed (he thinks the same of ones with ears!).

 

[Ali2]

No because he hates the stuff. My lad has a very pink nose so wears a field safe headcollar and a nose net (he used to have a full mask but didn't like that either)

 

[Tinypony]

Yes, P20 sun filter, because they are very pink noses. I taught the boys to drop their heads into my hands to have the stuff applied, and Sudocreme if they get a bit dry or peeled.

 

[PapaFrita]

Nope. Antifaz has a very pink nose and he's never burned since I've known him. I have no idea why this is the case when I live in a VERY hot country with scorching sun.
