Product Information
Full details
Lincoln Itchy Horse Neem Shampoo is designed for horse owners seeking a natural, soothing solution to manage equine skin irritation and fly bite discomfort. Formulated with a blend of neem oil, aloe vera, and wheatgerm oil, this plant-based shampoo effectively cleanses away pollen, dust, and stubborn chemical residues while calming sore, sensitive skin. While it is highly effective at breaking the itch-scratch cycle and maintaining coat health, users should be aware that because it is a gentle, plant-based cleanser, it may require slightly more rinsing time than harsh synthetic alternatives to ensure all product residue is removed.

Troubleshooting
Coat feels slightly tacky after drying
This is usually a sign that not all of the product has been rinsed out. Increase your rinsing time in the next session.
Horse is still scratching after one wash
Severe irritation may take a few days of treatment to resolve. Ensure you are applying the lather directly to the skin and leaving it for a few minutes before rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, start by wetting the horse's coat thoroughly with lukewarm water. Apply the shampoo directly to a sponge or a mitt, or dilute it in a bucket of water if preferred. Massage the lather deep into the roots of the hair, focusing on areas where the horse is most itchy, such as the mane base, tail dock, and belly.
Care Instructions:
- Always rinse until the water runs completely clear to prevent any potential skin buildup.
- Store the 4-litre container in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the botanical oils.
- This product is compatible with most standard grooming practices and can be used as frequently as necessary during peak irritation seasons.
