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!”

Thank you Elissa for sharing her experience with EcoLicious products.

“We had a couple warm days that got up to 66 degrees, so I finally got the chance to wash Blue’s tail.  I am so impressed with these products.  I think I had said before that I’d been floating around looking for something that would satisfy me and hadn’t found anything quite right, let alone natural.  I’m so glad I tried this brand now.

“It was getting dark out and started to rain a little, so I didn’t even do that thorough of a job and it still came out great.  The Squeaky Green & Clean Shampoo was wonderful, I couldn’t believe how clean it got his tail all the way up into the base.  It usually takes 2-3 washes and rinses to get all that dirt out and I did not expect it to be clean after just the one wash last night, but it was.  And I mean really clean, not even stained.  His tail was pure white when I finished.  And it was great to be able to put the Silky Moisturizing Rinse Out Coat Mane and Tail Conditioner in right on top of the shampoo.  It saved a lot of time not having to rinse twice.  His tail is super long and thick and stays tied up all the time, so it takes much longer to wash than the average tail.  Once I brought him inside, I wanted to test out how well the conditioner worked, so before I sprayed anything in, I made one big brush stroke from top to bottom and the comb slid right through.  I couldn’t believe it.  That has NEVER happened even with spray on detangler, let alone without it.  It made blow-drying so easy since I didn’t have knots to pick through.

I did finish off with the Moisture Maniac Mane & Tail Detangling Infusion spray on conditioner for good measure and loved how his tail just felt natural when it was all dry.  Everything else I’ve tried made it sticky, waxy, tacky, slimy, or all of the above.  It just felt clean and natural, which is what I was going for.  And the glimmer it left was pretty amazing too.  His hair is sort of transparent, so it’s really hard to get a shine.  I’ll probably never even need to use the whitening product at this rate.”

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.
