Recommend me a nice gentle shampoo please!

[joeanne]

Little Stig is being scrubbed tomorrow no matter what!
Need a nice gentle shampoo thats not going to cause any more problems for his skin.
His skin is obviously very scurfy and he does still have the burns though they are dry and scabbed over.
Any ideas?
Ta muchly

vosene or head and shoulders if scurffy then rinse well and finish with a bucket of water with a good glug glug of brown vinegar to take coat ph back to normal.

Tesco's head to toe baby wash. it's really mild and doesn't take much rinsing off

Lavender Wash by Barrier is fab - nice and gentle and no rinse so if he is getting wriggly it won't matter. I have used it on our mini shetland this year who got rain scald and itched huge sores on her - it helped heal them up and stop the itching.

This link will show you the bottle - I can get it in my local tack shop/feed merchant.

Boots do an own-brand lavender shampoo and matching conditioner. The results are gorgeous - clean, happy, fragrant ned with hair and skin as soft as silk. Little Lavender Stig lol x

I have used polytar on scurfy horses with great results, not very expensive from the chemists. For "everyday" bathing I use a liquid wool detergent, the horse stays sleek and the coat is dirt repellent for a few days. And if you're nerdy like me and the smell of laundry is nostalgic of your childhood.... lovely!
