Smeg-U-Later – the All Natural EcoLicious Sheath Cleaner is Here & You Can Get It FREE

Are you dreading THE JOB?

We’re thrilled to introduce a new product that makes this inevitable, hands-on job at least less unpleasant for you and your horse.  Smeg-U-Later – the All Natural Sheath Cleaner – named based on April Rotha’s submission to our Name It To Claim It Contest.

This all natural formula is made with gentle yet effective coconut derived cleansers and soothing Honeysuckle Extract to make sure our precious geldings and stud muffins don’t get irritated down there. We’ve also added essential oil of Lavender known for its calming properties. Let’s face it, we all want our horses to be nice and calm when we’re doing THE JOB. If your horse gets a little antsy, give him a sniff and you’ll see his eyes glaze over, making the whole experience more pleasurable for both of you.  The result? A happy horse with a squeaky clean lavender smelling undercarriage (and you’ll have lavender scented hands too). Smeg-U-Later is also great for cleaning delicate skin like nostrils and around the eye area!

Why Sheath Cleaning?

If you are the proud owner of a gelding or stallion, you know what I’m talking about. It’s the job we love to hate, and some of us ask our vet to do it or avoid it completely. Yes, I am talking about cleaning your precious gelding or stud muffin’s “undercarriage”. And yes, someone needs to do it.

Smegma is a collection of dirt and excretions that are completely normal. Smegma builds up around the sheath of the penis and should be cleaned for the sake of your horse’s health and comfort. Guidelines suggest twice a year, but every horse is different.  Smegma hardens and forms a “bean” that can cause serious pain for your horse. It can lead to behavior problems (really, can you blame him?) and worse, health problems. Dirty sheaths also lead to every horse owner’s nightmare. Tail rubbing! And the odor, you cannot forget that.

p.s. If you’re a mare owner, remember that the wax build up between their teats needs to be cleaned too., as it can lead to an uncomfortable itch.

p.s.s.  Smeg-U-Later can be used to clean delicate areas around your horse`s eyes and nostrils. We tested it – on ourselves – and it works fabulous in remove eye makeup. We are against testing  on animals, but we`re all over testing products on ourselves. I mean if it irritated my eyes, wouldn’t it irritate my horse`s?

Name It to Claim It Contest – Help Us Name our New Sheath Cleaner and Win the First Bottle

This one is becoming a classic. Help us figure out a name for our new all natural sheath cleaner and win – you guessed right – the first bottle!

We stand behind our products, and it’s important for us to involve you in their development. Plus you’re awesome and you have have great ideas. We know that we couldn’t possibly come up with so many great ideas by ourselves.

We’re about to launch an all natural sheath cleaner. Did you know that your usual sheath cleaner most likely contains sodium lauryl or laureth sulphates?  These are surfactants that are toxic to fish and wildlife – and to my ever lasting amazement, we use products with these ingredients on our horse’s nether regions! What’s up with that?

Our answer is, naturally, an all natural sheath cleaner. It’s made with gentle coconut and beet surfactants,and healing lavender. It’s PH balanced, mild, but very effective in removing the gunk build up. Horses find the lavender scent very comforting and we all want our horse to be relaxed during “THE JOB”, don’t we?

What’s in Store for 2012? It’s Going to be BIG!

I hope you’re having a wonderful start to the new year! We had so much to celebrate at the turn of the year, and our successes are thanks to you! If I could wrap up all of the best parts of 2011 and give them to you, here’s what would be inside:

We had many reasons to celebrate. Here are just a handful:

*   First you’d untie the gold ribbon… in honor of Olympic Bronze Dressage Medalist Ravel and his brother 2011 PanAm Dressage Gold Medalist Weltino’s Magic, who became raving fans of our products and use them faithfully as part of their grooming routine.

*    Then you’d notice the impeccable wrapping…after all, EcoLicious products passed the vigorous testing of professional grooms from Horse Junkies United as well as Professional Equine Grooms.They love the show-stopping results that our products deliver, their natural Sweet Orange Essential Oil scent and how their skin isn’t irritated after working with our products.

*    Next, you’d peek inside and as you unwrap each layer of recycled tissue paper, you’d find the newest additions to the EcoLicious product family – Leave Me Be Fly Spray Concentrate and Blinded by the White Total Body Whitening Treatment. Both quickly became our customers’ favorites! If you haven’t tried them yet, make it a resolution to get them before spring!

*    Then, just when you thought it couldn’t possibly get better, you’d hear about all the wonderful reviews from magazines around the world! In 2011, EcoLicious Equestrian was featured by magazine editors in Horse Illustrated, Dressage Today, Equine Wellness Magazine, Canadian Horse Journal and more. We couldn’t ask for a more special gift as our story was shared with the world!


Here’s What’s on the Horizon for 2012

Of Course! More Great EcoLicious Products:

*    A waterless version of our bestselling Squeaky Green & Clean Deep Cleansing and Conditioning Shampoo – especially useful in the cold winters!
*    All Natural Sheath Cleaner -(Pssst…you don’t even want to know what harsh chemical ingredients are in traditional sheath cleaners).
*    Itchy Tail Treatment – many of you do struggle with this annoying issue & we’re here to help.
*    And new treats for riders! Why should our horses have all the fun? :) A lip balm, body spray with our signature Sweet Orange scent and a refreshing facial spritz or those long hot days at a show, or out and about.

More Great Contests:

More Raving Fans and Role Models:

The 2012 Olympic Games in London are behind the corner and we hope that we will see Ravel groomed from head to toe with EcoLicious products show off in the Olympic Dressage Ring. We are also proud to announce new sponsored rider carrying the EcoLicious colours – Canadian Eventing Rider Diana Burnett – a London 2012 Olympic hopeful.
We wish them well!
