Winter & early spring can be hard on tails with all the mud and ”poop soup”. To keep your horse’s tail clean you can do two things.

• Put your horse’s tail into a commercial tail bag.
• Protect it with a braid.

For lovely locks it’s important that you bag or braid a clean tail. You can safely bathe the bottom of the tail below the tail bone even in cold weather. Make sure to use a gentle shampoo without Sodium Lauryl & Sodium Laureth Sulphate (common ingredient in majority of horse shampoos on the market that is toxic to fish and wildlife) such as Squeaky Green & Clean. Always apply a tail conditioner before bagging/ braiding to prevent breakage. Go silicone free since silicone prevents hair from breathing and without oxygen the hair cannot regenerate. Try our 100% natural De-Stress Intensive Restructuring Treatment that is readily absorbed and doesn’t suffocate your horse’s tail.

Protect your horse's tail with a braid

How to Braid:

Divide the hair into three sections, wrap each section in a commercial tail tube protector (you can also use strips of torn bedsheet or an old pair of pantyhose) then braid the sections together. Once you hit the end of the tail continue braiding  for a few inches then finish off with a knot.

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share with you an email that I received yesterday from one of our customers. We’re so happy to hear about your experience with our products. 

“Ecolicious Equestrian is the ultimate line of horse care products!  I love the Squeaky Green and Clean shampoo, it rinses out easily and gets my horse super shiny.  The De-Stress and Moisture Maniac are the BEST mane and tail products, they detangle instantly without drying out the hair like those silicone-based products.  The Glossy Coat Tonic gives a beautiful show shine for my horse, and I use it on my own hair too for extra shine and softness.  Leave Me Be is a great fly spray, and I love the fact that it doesn’t have any harsh chemical pesticides like most other brands.  The Hands On cream is wonderful too, I constantly wash my hands in my job and it lasts a long time without being greasy.  I am going to toss my other products and use nothing but Ecolicious Equestrian products from now on!  Keep up the great work!”

EcoLicious Equestrian was a proud sponsor of the May Pony Club Show in MB.

Despite the dim weather forecast, the long weekend turned out to be sunny and beautiful; and the Show was a success. The winners left with a bottle of  our EcoLicious 100% natural and organic silicone free Intensive Mane & Tail Treatment “De-Stress”.

The highlight of the Sunday jump off was a couple of suicidal wild turkeys that kept strategically positioning themselves behind the jumps during the competition. One of the contestants had to stop mid-course while the turkeys were removed.

Please note that no turkeys were harmed during the removal.

Get your horse’s tail show ready with this intensive EcoLicious treatment and transform your horse’s tail. Go from dry & distressed to vibrant and nourished within minutes. You don’t need to wash your horse’s tail prior unless it’s really dirty.

It’s simple.

1. Heat up approx. half ounce of De-Stress Intensive Restructuring Treatment in a small microwavable bowl. Do not overheat. It needs to hot enough to create the effect and not too hot so you don’t burn your hands. De-Stress is made with 100% natural & organic ingredients and is silicone free and  can be used in place of regular conditioner/detangler.

2. Rub the treatment into the tail hair as well as the base. Spread evenly.  Small amount goes a long way here, be prepared to need less than you expected.

3. Wrap. We are using an e-wrap (biodegradable form of saran wrap), but it is not widely available so go with aluminum foil instead. It’s made from recycled aluminum and it can be recycled after you’re done with it.

4. Leave on for at least 10 minutes, but if you have time, leave it on longer. Don’t wash out. The hair will soak it in. If there is a little left unabsorbed, pat the tail dry with a towel.

And the results? Dazzling!
