When the ooh-so-hated gnats & midges leave your horse’s sensitive ears and belly covered in bites, soothe it  with EcoLicious Comfort Me Healing and Soothing Balm. It provides immediate comfort and  also leaves behind a protective film that the gnats will stay clear off. They’re not the biggest fans of essential oils.

How does it do it?

The natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal benefits of Myrrh, Tea Tree and Lavender Essential Oils aids in healing of bug bites. Antioxidant rich Green Tea Infusion and ULTRA moisturizing Cocoa Butter help to create a barrier between sensitive skin and the environment. Allantoin and Certified Organic Hemp Oil calm skin irritations while Honeysuckle stimulates the removal of toxins. Also great to clear rain rot, scraches, minor cuts and scrapes or other skin irritations and more.

Your horse will thank you…

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

Whether your idea of a trail ride is a few hours or a few days, there are many things to consider when heading out for the great outdoors. Reducing your carbon hoofprint is especially important when sharing the trails with plants, animals and other recreational users. Here are some tips to ride green on the trail this summer.

Stay on the trail – if you’re riding in a park or trail system, it’s especially important to respect the rules and to stay within the designated areas. This is for the health of the environment as well as your own safety. Riding on the trail instead of blazing your own may be required to protect certain plants and the eco-systems specific to the area. It also protects you from getting lost or putting yourself in a hazardous situation if you or your horse were to become injured in a remote setting.

Stay on the trail

Take it in, bring it out – pack lightly and be prepared to carry out your garbage and waste. Please do not litter, and if you see garbage left behind by others, consider picking it up for the greater good.

Hands and hoofs off – don’t let your horse trample areas off the designated trail, and likewise, don’t remove plants, rocks, branches or anything else you might desire as mementoes of your ride. Pictures tell a thousand works and your memories can last a lifetime!

Respect wildlife – for your own safety as well as theirs, don’t approach or try to feed animals and birds. As tempting as it may be, feeding them can kill them – sooner or later. Remember that horses are considered prey animals, and their natural cadence and scent will alert wildlife often before you see them.  Because they are not considered a threat, many animals will not move off until you are nearby, so be prepared for your horse’s reaction and enjoy the ride, at a safe distance.

Feeding on the trail –carry in what you need for your horse. Some parks and trails require you to feed only certified weed-free hay, which needs to be fed several days ahead of your trip. Seeds in manure, or carried in with hay, can introduce weeds and plants that are not indigenous to the area and can cause serious damage to the eco-system over time. Be careful where you let your horse graze, and mindful of tying up your horse in a way that could damage tree bark.

Keep it clean – If you’re staying overnight or for a multi-day trip, use earth-friendly soaps and cleaning products for yourself and any cooking utensils or tools you are carrying with you. There are many biodegradable and non-harmful products that are earth and water friendly.

Use natural grooming products that respect the environment - If you’re horse needs a bath to sooth the itch and remove the sweat marks, go with a shampoo without SLS (SLS stand for sodium lauryl & laureth sulphates : non biodegradable surfactants toxic to fish and wildlife) commonly occuring in majority of horse shampoos on the market. Try our Squeaky Green & Clean Deep Cleansing and Conditioning Shampoo. It’s good for the planet and good for your horse. It’s made with all natural and naturally derived human grade ingredients so you can go ahead and borrow some from your horse.

We love to hear from you. Here is an email from one of our customers and a vendor of EcoLicious products in Ontario. Thank you for sharing Diana!

“I should tell you about Hilo. He tried to slice his foot of 15 years ago on a barb wire fence. He has lived with a nasty scar over the inside of his heel and into the coronet band. This has always caused a crack in his hoof, a lot of movement and shoes falling off in two weeks or less. We had started using just lavender oil on the coronet band about 6 months ago. When I purchased your Hoof Therapy Restorative & Protective Serum we started using just that. His feet look amazing now. The farrier can get all the nails in, he keeps his shoe on for a full 4 week reset and they look so darn healthy. You have no idea how fantastic a change this is. It has been a  long time of trials and this is the first thing to make his foot look normalish.  He can be the poster child.”
