SOLARSPORT EQUINE 30 SUPERIOR FLY PROTECTION EQUINE HORSE SUNSCREEN AVAILABLE AT KM ELITE

KM Elite - Monday, May 20, 2013

Why Solarsport Equine 30 Superior is good for your Horse:

Unlike human sunscreens, Solarsport Equine 30 Superior is specifically designed to provide maximum UVA (Aging Rays) & UVB (Burning Rays) sun protection for your horse, whilst greatly reducing the chance of Skin Cancer, skin irritations and the usual problem of depleting low suncare performance.

Solarsport Equine 30 Superior takes away long-standing suncare problems in an instant. It's a luxury instant absorption sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor(spf) of 30 and a Superior 4 Star rating. Sinking into the skin in seconds, it leaves an invisible moisturised, long lasting sun protectorant film. Its so easy to apply too,with a unique user-friendly soft applicator pad - simply squeeze & smooth in.

S.E. is non-greasy and replenishes essential natural oils lost during exposure to sunlight, one daily application can last up to 7 hrs. Its water resistant too! and remains effective even after a short summer rain shower.

Whilst most full SunBlock products are Reflective based screens (containing metal Oxides) they must be plastered onto the skin (like on a Cricketer's face) and left thick like 'Icing' to be totally effective. It stands to reason that while these may work perfectly well upon initial application, daily foraging and grazing, together with constant muzzle/mouth-licking, is highly likely to remove the protective coating from the sensitive areas that you are actually trying hardest to protect.

Recognising that most animals are sensitive to creams & lotions, S.E. is hypo-allergenic and scientifically formulated to care, replenish and daily sun-protect.

Why Solarsport Equine 30 Superior is good for you:

Easy to apply soft pad means No more greasy, messy hands. You're safe in the knowlege that Solarsport Equine is providing maximum, long lasting direct-sun protection.

Solarsport is so affordable every owner can easily give their animal the required protection at reasonable prices.

Even the light subtle fragrance is comforting... and we're green too, our environmentally friendly packing is fully recycleable.

Solarsport Equine 30 Superior is handy for you and for your horse, simply squeeze & smooth for a total peace of mind.

Yes, there are alternatives, you can buy a cheap family sized bottle of generic suncream, but these will not be designed to be Equine-friendly. Nor will they have the unique benefits and advantages that Solarsport Equine can offer.

A fly mask is a type of mask that is used by horse owners on their horses to cover the eyes, jaw, and sometimes the ears and muzzle to protect the horse from irritation from flies. Marks are semi-transparent and usually made from a mesh thus  allowing the horse to still see and hear whilst wearing it. Some masks may also provide some protection from UV lights. Fly and mosquito protection is a very important part of equine care, this is because biting insects can not only be very irritating for the horse but they can also transmit diseases. 

A standard fly mask is not usually used when riding your horse as the design can interfere with the bridle and the minimal visual impairment of the mesh presents a safety issue.

It is also recommended that a fly mask is taken off and inspected daily, they should also be washed regularly. Some horse owners also remove the fly mask at night.

Non horse owners are often concerned when they see a horse wearing a fly mask as it can appear that the horse has been blindfolded. However this is not true as even a durable mesh is fine enough for the horse to be able to see through it.

KM Elite - Monday, May 20, 2013

Equine America are proud to put their name on this effective product which relieves itching,aids healing, soothes and encourages natural hair regrowth. Soothe itch is highly recommended for sweet itch, and over the last few years has had amazing results with some extremely positive feedback. As the product is completely natural it will not be harmful to yourself whilst applying it to the horse's affected areas. it also works as a fly repellent and can be easily applied directly to the skin of Horses and Ponies.

Sooth-itch contains a complex of ingredients in its formula including Pure Lavender Oil, Pure Tea Tree Oil, Pure Chamomile (Roman) Oil and Citrepel for midge control

Ingredients

Chamomile Oil- This widely used, highly versatile ancient herb with its intriguing aroma, possesses strong sedative, tonic and pain relieving properties. Effective in combating nervousness, sensitivity, worries and stress, and promoting relaxation, sleep and a sense of calm and peacefulness while restoring your horses body to health.

It is antiseptic and analgesic and helps prevent scarring. Good addition to a balm or salve for sore, tired muscles, relieves inflammation and pain. 

Citrepel Exctract- Citrepel is a great natural fly repellent based mainly on eucalyptus oils.

Citrepel is effective against midges, sand fly, horse fly, stable fly and ticks as well as mosquitoes. The results of independent toxicity studies indicate that PMD can be rated as having a very low order of toxicity. Summary conclusions determine that Citrepel, containing the active PMD, is safe and non-irritant when formulated as an insect repellent.

Customer Reviews
Just a quick email to say what a fabulous product. I have tried countless creams, gels, sprays etc to relieve my cob of his sweet itch over the last four years and I had almost given up . I was at Hickstead and happen to come across the Sooth-Itch product and thought  would give it a go as a last resort as nothing else has worked previously and I am so pleased it has worked miracles !! and Pickle is much happier , his hair has grown back the sores have healed & Needless to say I have ordered more. I have even used it on my own mossie bites and it has certainly relieved the itch thanks for such a great product. 
Jacqui - East Sussex

I would like to let you know how great I think your Product Soothe Itch is . I have a pony that I have tried everything on the market on to help with his Sweet Itch and this is the only thing that has helped him along with keeping him covered up. After I first applied it I found that I didn’t have to re-apply as often as other products I have tried. This is a fantastic product with amazing results . The pony is far happier and definatley far less “itchy”. E.Thompson
