Why is Whinny Bloom soap-free?
Traditional soaps can be harsh on the skin, disrupting the natural lipid barrier and stripping away protective oils.
Whinny Bloom is soap-free, meaning it cleans effectively while respecting the skin’s natural balance. This makes it especially suitable for sensitive horses or those prone to dryness, itching, or irritation.
Will this shampoo still clean properly without soap?
Yes.
The formula uses gentle, modern cleansing agents that lift dirt and sweat without aggressive foaming. The coat is left clean and fresh, but never tight or squeaky — a sign that the skin’s natural oils have been preserved.
Why include Manuka essential oil?
Manuka oil is valued for its skin-supporting and calming properties.
It helps maintain a healthy skin environment, making it particularly useful for horses that experience minor skin sensitivities or seasonal irritation.
What is the role of lavender essential oil?
Lavender oil provides a light, natural scent and gentle soothing benefits.

Does it rinse out easily?

The low-foam formula rinses cleanly, leaving no residue behind.
Is the scent strong?

The fragrance is light, natural, and subtle — designed to be pleasant without lingering or overpowering.
Is it suitable for manes and tails as well as the body?
Yes.
Whinny Bloom can be used on the mane, tail, and body as part of a complete wash routine.
What makes this different from other “natural” horse shampoos?
Many natural shampoos focus primarily on scent or minimal ingredients.
Whinny Bloom is performance-led, combining gentle cleansing with targeted skin and coat conditioners to support long-term skin comfort and coat health — not just a clean feel on the day.
In short:
Whinny Bloom is a soap-free, skin-respecting shampoo designed to cleanse gently, support sensitive skin, and maintain the horse’s natural coat balance — making it suitable for both everyday use and horses that need a kinder wash.
