Anyone who owns a light coloured horse knows it’s next to impossible to get and keep them clean. We’ve  took this challenge seriously and came up with a solution that was tested, approved and named by our customers.

You’ve been asking for it so here it is.  A whitener powered by nature  that removes manure, urine and grass stains without chemicals, bleach or peroxide. Our customers tested it, and the results literally took our breath away.

Blinded by the White Total Body Whitening Treatment uses the natural lightening power of lemon juice and lemon peel oil. Combined with glycerine it whitens, brightens and conditions the coat, mane and tail. Like other EcoLicious products, it does double duty. It’s really important for us to consider not only superior performance, but how to add value to our products. For example, our new whitener product also conditions the hair, and its lemon properties not only remove the ugliest of stains but also provide uplifting lemon aromatherapy that doesn’t attract insects.

The product is designed to work with EcoLicious Equestrian’s popular Squeaky Green & Clean Deep Cleansing and Conditioning Shampoo and Silky Rinse Out Moisturizing Conditioner for Coat, Mane &Tail.

This is what Sherri,our tester,  said about this product : “It was easy to use and in the time I have owned my horse, I have never seen his tail so white. I was astounded. In fact, I honestly didn’t know how light it could be. I love that it is all-natural. It can’t hurt anything and I don’t end up with chemical stains on my clothes either.

If you’ve got a light coloured horse, you aspire to a shiny and glistening white mane and tail, and bright white socks … but most of the time, you settle for manure, urine and dirt stains because it’s near impossible to get and keep them clean.

If this sounds like you, our new product will get your horse clean and take your breath away (in a nice way). It’s easy and quick to use, has no harsh chemicals to burn your skin, make you choke, stain your clothes or  your grass, and most importantly, it delivers near un-earthly results! You have to see it to believe it, we’re not kidding. Every horse owner who tested it for us had the same kind of results on their horses – including the extra-bodied American Bashkir Curly and Gypsy Vanners – and we’ve got people lining up begging for this product to be made available soon.

P.S. Not a bit of white on your horse ? Please pass this email on to a friend that are in need of a whitener.

Spring is in full swing and we look forward to long sunny days shared with our equine companions. Unfortunately, the warmer weather also brings pesky mosquitoes, black flies, ticks and fleas. For the horse and rider, their unwelcome intrusion can take the fun out of a long ride and make it next to impossible for us to work with our horses as they are driven to distraction. And who can blame them?

Here’s a list of Green Fly Control Tips that you can implement to keep the bugs at bay.

It’s a bug-eat-bug world out there, so use it to your natural advantage! Fly predators are tiny insects that eat fly larvae, interrupting the life cycle and therefore reducing the population. You will be amazed at how well this natural method works, as long as you start early in the season. You may have to double up the use during the peak of the fly season, or if your spring and summer is wetter than usual.

Keep it clean. Not only will your shelters and paddocks smell better, but you’ll keep pesky insects at bay if you promptly remove manure. In larger areas, harrow occasionally or break up manure with a pitchfork, and rotate pastures to avoid worm infestation.

Keep it dry. The less homey you make it for bugs, the more they’ll move on! Eliminate standing water and tall grasses where flies and other insects settle. Watch out for the overlooked nooks and crannies where rainwater collects, like unused buckets and pails, and even tarps and other areas where water pools.

An apple a day…well, not exactly although your horse would like it. But adding apple cider vinegar in small quantities to your horses’ feed is a natural repellent.

Feed DE. Diatomaceous Earth is a non-toxic pesticide which can be added to food to help eliminate internal parasites and reduce manure odor. Apply it as well to manure piles to prevent flies from laying eggs. DE looks like white chalk powder but is actually the indigestible fossilized remains of single-cell plants. Since bugs can’t digest it, they die, but it is harmless to larger animals and people.

Use flower power. Planting flowers like marigolds naturally deter many insects. There are many pretty plants that are natural repellents, so you can pretty up your yard with double duty beauty.

Add some POP! These fly traps really work, and are easy to use. http://www.rescue.com/pop_fly_trap/

And the final line of defence? Leave Me Be! When you need to use a fly spray, try our best-selling Leave Me Be All-Natural Bug Spray. It contains natural ingredients, essential oils and a moisturizer that keep your horse comfortable, and his coat soft, silky and dandruff-free. Its natural blend of citronella, lemon oil, peppermint and eucalyptus smells great to us, but turns off bugs. Available in regular or concentrate form – one bottle of concentrate makes five liters of fly spray.
