Stable Environment Limited- The Natural choice for Animal Skin Care- All year round.

Horses have become so domesticated, it is no wonder they have bad hair days!

Dusty stable bedding dries out their skin, just as central heating dries out ours. How many times have we used a moisturiser or hand cream that has not made any difference to our skin? Well it is no different to our domesticated horse either.

Products we have seen people use on horses over the years is enough to make anyone cringe with despair, they use washing up liquid to bath them in and even spray furniture polish on to their coats! The excuse given is that it is cheaper than equine products on the market.

Our company's policy is to create high quality products that do not cost the Earth, enabling a wider range of people to use animal friendly products.

Throughout the summer months, many horses are bathed on a regular basis, thus stripping their natural oils out. Perfumed shampoo's can irritate the skin and can dry it the point of cracking.

We created "Shower N' Shine" as an all over body wash, based on our "2in1 Equine Intimate Body Wash". The ingredients are gentle on the skin and the formula is not to dissimilar to a human baby wash, with the added benefits of Lavender and Tea Tree pure essential oils instead of synthetic perfumes. We did not add foam boosters to make rinsing off time shorter. The beneficial oils carry on working after rinsing, promoting a healthy skin.

After shampooing we recommend "The Ultimate 2in1 Fly Repellent & Skin Tonic", it goes a long way on damp skin and penetrates more easily through the hair. It contains vitamin E and other essential amino acids, plus a percentage of fatty acids, which help maintain skin elasticity.

Alternatively, or as well, apply "3in1 Tangle Free Mane, Tail & Coat shine" to a wet or dry coat. The natural conditioners will help re-hydrate the skin, creating a natural balance. We would recommend using "The Ultimate" and or the "Tangle Free" throughout winter months to keep the skin toned and supple.

5in1 Fresh H-Air is a must- have product for all horse lovers. It is a NATURAL air freshener with multiple uses. It can be sprayed direct onto the horse as a coat conditioner, ideal for Sweet Itch sufferers and great for confined spaces.
