The perfect stocking filler for anyone with a 4 legged friend. See the individual pricing below, all products are available direct from Packhorse.ie or in selected stores nationwide.
Packhorse Equi-wash Sponge – €7.99 – It has a special dual-action effect which means that you can be a gentle as you like or have the ability to scrub away more dirty patches. The soft side is waved so that the sponge will get under the hair and allow the shampoo to act better and reach the skin underneath giving a more thorough cleaning effect.
Packhorse Natural Hoof Oil – €14.99 – A blend of natural oils designed to promote a healthy hoof. When applied regularly it will help keep the hoof elastic and give it a shiny healthy appearance. The bottle has a brush in the cap which makes it convenient to apply and avoids the mess!
Packhorse Silk & Shine Shampoo – €15.00 – Specially formulated shampoo for your horse’s coat. It cleans and cares for the coat whilst also leaving a healthy shine with a silky feel! For best results use warm water.
