[Stinkbomb]

What products do people use to protect their horses noses etc from the sun??? Can you use human products??

Was a post about this the other night if you have a hunt for it.

We use factor 50 human suncream and works a treat even on the greys with pink noses

I use the Boots Soltan Kids Factor 50. Its is waterproof and contains a fly repellant as well. It is not too expensive and is often available on bogof. Would highly recommend.

yepp l'oreal sun block and a fly mask that covers most of the nose

I use human suncream on mine! Works a treat

 

[gothdolly]

we all use the same, on me, my child and the horse

Factor 50 kids stuff by L'oreal. Domi got burnt one year and it was awful

I felt so guilty. He got his mask off and must have just stood in the sun all day. Since I started to put the sun block on as well hes been fine.

Try a kids sun stick rather than cream, like a lipstick you dont end up with cream all over you and can hold horses nose and just rub on - like you would a child !!!!!!!
And keep in a fridge not on yard in the sun!!!!

I just bought Tesco sun stick.... factor 50 and 5 stars (whatever they mean)

...... also it is blue, so I will be able to see where I have missed

Usually use Ambre Solaire factor 50 and that seems to have worked so far.... just a bit messy to take down the field before work!!!

i use savlon! soothes skin keeps the sun off, and doesnt come off all day!

I use E45 factor 50. It's great because you only have to put it on every few days, it's really thick and doesn't come off.

Oooooooh sunnymane! Didn't know E45 do a factor 50 suncream! My rescue mare burns terribly as she has severe ragwort poisoning which actually ATTRACTS the sun. Stir in her pink nose and muzzle and you'll get the idea. I slap sun cream on like it's going out of fashion but it gets rubbed off really quickly. She has to come in during the day as she burns so badly but she still needs protection from even early morning sunlight, late afternoon sunlight and overcast days. E45 here I come!

Sudocreme. 70% zinc cream which is 100% sun block. We have a cob who has the biggest pinkest nose imaginable. With a daily application of sudocreme it remains blister free no matter how hot.
I got terribly sunburnt last weekend. I nicked some of the horses sudocreme a few days later & my arms & thraot went from sore red to soft pink within a few hours!!

I used to use E45 total sun block factor 50 on Amy's nose.

Nothing shifted it - was fabulous stuff.
