Product Information
Full details
Red Horse Sweet Oil is an essential grooming product for horse owners whose equines suffer from dry, irritated, or itchy skin during milder months. By utilizing a potent blend of sweet almond oil, myrtle oil, and Saltidin, it provides deep, all-day moisturization that discourages rubbing and promotes natural hair regrowth, though owners should perform a small patch test first to ensure their horse has no sensitivities to the essential oils.

FAQs
Can I use Sweet Oil on open wounds?
Sweet Oil is designed for irritated, dry skin and itching. It should not be applied to deep open wounds or broken, bleeding skin.
How often should I apply it?
For best results, apply daily to sensitive areas during the months when your horse is prone to itching.
Is this safe for sensitive-skinned horses?
The product is formulated to be soothing, but always perform a patch test on a small area of the horse's flank to check for allergic reactions.
Does it contain chemicals that might cause testing issues?
Sweet Oil uses generally accepted grooming ingredients, but if you are competing under FEI or specific racing rules, check the current list of prohibited substances.
Will the oil make my horse's coat slippery for the saddle?
Yes, avoid applying the oil to the saddle area or under the girth, as it can make the coat slippery and interfere with tack grip.
Troubleshooting
Horse continues to rub despite application
Ensure the product is massaged down to the skin level rather than sitting on top of the hair, and increase application frequency to twice daily.
Skin appears slightly oily or attracts dirt
Reduce the volume applied per session and ensure the excess oil is rubbed in thoroughly until the skin feels nourished but not saturated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application is straightforward: simply pour a small amount of oil onto your hands or a soft cloth and massage it directly into the affected skin. It is compatible with all breeds and ages of horses. Store the 2500ml container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the essential oils. Always keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination. If you are switching from a different brand of skin soothing product, it is recommended to wash the area with mild soap and water before applying the first coat of Red Horse Sweet Oil.
