You know at EcoLicious Equestrian we’re always looking for ways to combine the beauty factor for show ring caliber results with natural health and wellness benefits.  That’s why we’ve added another performance grooming essential to our beauty lineup of all natural, environmentally friendly equine products.  Our new Glamorous Facial Highlighter offers that special finishing shine around the muzzle and eye area, and really turns up the drama on horses of all colors. It’s like visiting the makeup counter with your horse.

Giving your horse that little extra touch of glamour before your turn in the show ring can make the difference in your score, not to mention you and your horse’s confidence level as you make your grand entrance.

Glamorous uses the natural reflective power of Mica mineral to add shimmer with the added bonus of natural protection from harmful UV rays. Beeswax and certified Hemp Oil moisturize and soothe the skin and coat, while Sweet Orange essential oil makes it smell heavenly.

Like all of EcoLicious Equestrian’s grooming products, ingredients are all natural and environmentally friendly and are human grade so are safe to use on people and animals. There are no toxic ingredients or silicones that give slick shine but are petroleum based. A touch of Glamorous on your shoulders, arms or gams will glam you up too.

What is it like to have a Grooming Job? Super excited to share this guest blog post by the people who know this more than anybody else – Professional Equine Grooms. If career as a pro equine groom is something you wish to pursue, joining their community is the best first step you can take.

This is a great question, with so many levels! Mainly, it’s a whole lot of responsibility, with not a whole lot of time in the spotlight. Grooming, by it’s very nature, is a behind the scenes job. You are there before dawn sometimes, and after sunset on many occasions. The barn and horses magically get cleaned several times a day. Multiple feedings are taken care of, and hay seems to stack itself. A perfect stranger, new to horses, might get the idea that it’s very little work! Ultimately, a Groom is responsible for many other things besides just stacking hay and sweeping the barn. The health and well being of the horse is top priority.

You are responsible for knowing each horse inside and out, top to bottom, front to back. And having that knowledge, you are responsible for noticing any and all changes in your horses. How they act, how they eat, how they poop. Upon noticing any change, you are responsible for carrying out the directions of your Employer, the Veterinarian, or the Farrier. You are also responsible for carrying out the “plan” of the day. What’s the riding plan? The turnout plan? The hand walking plan? Is the Veterinarian or Farrier coming? Hay or shavings delivery? (And don’t get me started on what to do if someone is early or late – kick in those multi-tasking tools!)

There are, of course, many other dimensions to the job description that don’t involve the horses directly. Taking care of the barn, tack, feed room, tack room, arenas, and turn outs also falls under your umbrella. It’s a long day with lots to do! Yes, having a Grooming job is tough and busy, it’s also very rewarding. There is nothing like watching your horse enter the gate, go down centerline, or have a clear round. There’s a bit of pride knowing that your horse is turned out beautifully because of you!

What’s Sandra Anderson’s – professional equine groom for Diana Burnett  Eventing – take on EcoLicious grooming products?

“The Ecolicious grooming products are amazing! My personal favorites are the Leave Me Be  All Natural  Fly Spray which works better then any chemical based fly spray I have tried, the Glossy Gloss Coat Shine, De-Stress Intensive Mane & Tail Detangler which can get out the toughest of knots, and the Squeaky Green & Clean Deep Cleansing and Conditioning Shampoo which gets the horses’ coats super clean and shiny”

“These products smell great and work even better! I love that they are all natural and chemical free! By using these products, I can be sure that my top competition horses are being groomed with safe, environmentally friendly products that meet their every need. I know that Diana’s horses look their best going into the show ring thanks to the Ecolicious grooming products!”
