I was thrilled to be selected to test the nourishing shampoo from Topline Naturals. The shampoo smelt delicious, and as a 75% organic product I was reassured that it wouldn’t be full of any harsh chemicals. I took advantage of a rare sunny day with my toddler at nursery to ride then bath the boy. The shampoo recommended applying directly to a wet coat, via a sponge or straight onto the horse. It lathered up well and a little went a long way.
As well as a full all-over scrub for the main man, I also diluted a little in some warm water to wash off our other bay Charlie who was rather sweaty from his ride.
On bringing the horses in this evening I was amazed at how soft and shiny Carat’s coat was. Both his clip and full coat had a mega shine to them, with no remaining scurf or grease. His man and tail also felt softer with a healthy sheen to them. Charlie also has a noticeably softer coat on his girth and saddle areas that I had given a very quick ‘sponge over’ to.
I am incredibly pleased with this shampoo, having used a whole host of different products over the year (some horse specific, others not) and I cannot honestly remember noticing such difference in general coat quality from just one wash. Highly recommended and I shall certainly be replacing this bottle when it runs out.
