Posts Tagged ‘De-Stress Intensive Restructuring Treatment’

If you’ve ever showed up at your horse’s paddock to find him a tail rubbed raw and clumps of tail hair falling out, you know what it feels like. You want to cry, you want to scream, you want to be mad at him, but you know it’s not his fault, so you just quietly despair (or not so quietly, if you’re anything like me). You know how long it takes to have the precious hair grow back. FOREVER!

Spring is in full swing and if you live in an area known for ticks, guess what…The reason behind the sudden onslaught of tail rubbing might be ticks nested at the  base of your horse’s tail. Some horses have a mild allergic reaction to tick bites – like my gelding – and they get so itchy they just can’t help themselves.

Solution? No quickie here. It takes elbow grease, a wide tooth comb and a bit of time.  Especially if your horse’s tail is thick. Peeling a layer after a layer of hair and examining every bit and piece of your horse’s tail base is quite a detective work, but it has to be done (if you care about your horse’s tail enough that is). Signs that you’re getting close to finding one is a yellow like crumbs in the affected area.  Pluck the ticks you find out with a pair of tweezers.

And how do you prevent the tick infestation at the base of the tail in the first place? We’ve figured out that thorough, regular and generous application of our 100% Natural De-Stress Intensive Mane and Tail Treatment does a triple duty. It not only leaves your horse’s tail, radiant, smooth and tangle free, it also makes ticks stay away. Rubbing  De-Stress into the base of the tail also promotes healthy hair growth thanks to rosemary plant extract and Tee Tree Oil is a powerful antibacterial.

And did I mention that your horse will love you? He will make all kinds of funny approving faces and if he’s anything like my boy, he will come and stick his bum in your face to tell you : “mom can I have some more”?

My morning couldn’t start better off. Thank you Gina for sharing before & after pics and her
experience with our products. What a beautiful horse. We love the transformation.

“Hi!

I am sending pictures of my horse Seamus (shamus) Moonstone, a Amber Cream Champagne Kentucky Mountain Horse.

I am so happy with the All Natural DeStress Intensive Mane & Tail Treatment. I have tried just about everything on my horses mane & tail. I love your products, I can use the mane & tail detangler on a dirty mane and Seamus’s mane & tail become soft and it does not get the dread locks that happen after a couple of days. I hardly comb his mane or tail, only after a bath. The mane & tail detangler works wonders for his thick mane & tail.

The End Result - full, silky and shiny mane & tail

Today I gave him a bath and only used the DeStress, it is the ultimate product I have ever used. It keeps his mane & tail soft and look how it picks up the light, he shimmers! Even after a couple of days his mane & tail remains knot free and it keeps its softness and shine. I will never use anything else on Seamus’s mane and tail & I cannot wait to try your other products.

I also love your Hands On hand lotion, it leaves my hands soft and not greasy, I am a farmer and my hands are always a mess, I cannot wait to see how your hand lotion works through our New England winters. Another GREAT product, I am so glad I found you!”

Sincerely,
Gina & Seamus

Summer Memories and the Lovin’ is Easy!

Summer holidays are over and fall is knocking on the door. We will all miss the warm, long days that gave us plenty of time to enjoy our equine companions. September is here, but summer isn’t over yet! We want you to enjoy these last summer days, celebrate it and capture the memories to last all year, so this month, we’re doing something a little different.

We’re inviting you to share your best pictures of you and your horse in the “Summer  Memories: Feel
the Connection” Photo Contest.

Take Your Best Shot!

Winners will receive a special Feel the Connection Grooming Kit containing some of the most popular EcoLicious products for the horse: SQUEAKY GREEN & CLEAN Deep Cleansing & Conditioning Shampoo, the all-natural coconut derived horse shampoo (check out before & after pics); DE-STRESS Intensive Restructuring & Detangling Treatment for mane and tail; and for the rider, HANDS ON Therapeutic Barn Hand Repair Lotion. These products are the key ingredients for your horse’s spa day, and a treat for your hands after you’re done.

Let’s face it, our horses offer us so much and ask for so little in return. Grooming time can become a ritual you both enjoy to the fullest to not only get your horse looking his or her best, but to also strengthen the bond between you. In horse language, grooming is a sign of affection and caring between horses who like each other, so the more you can replicate this in the horse-human relationship, the happier your horse will be. And that’s something that’s a win-win for both of you.
