NAF Lavender Wash 500ml

Measure rather than pour: 2 capfuls in 5 litres of water, as NAF states. Work with a sponge or wash mitt from top to bottom, scrape off the excess water with a sweat scraper and let your horse dry or walk it dry. The warmer the water, the more pleasant for your horse and the more easily the sweat comes away.

A no-rinse wash does not replace a proper wash when the coat is deeply dirty or full of sand: use a shampoo you rinse out then. Avoid the eyes. NAF publishes no cautions, no storage advice and no storage temperature for this product; keep the bottle well closed and frost-free.

Choose the Lavender Wash for everyday practice: after training, after a competition round or on a hot day, when you want to take away sweat and dirt without a full wash. Handy in winter too, when you would rather not work with a lot of water, and away from home where no hose is available.

If your horse is genuinely dirty or you want to bring out the coat colour, a shampoo you rinse out is a better idea, such as the NAF Show Off Shampoo or the NAF Teatree & Mint Shampoo 500ml. For another version within the same NAF wash series, there are the NAF Cooling Wash 500 ml and the NAF Warming Wash (500 ml). For the fly season NAF also offers the NAF Off Citronella Wash.

Mix 2 capfuls into 5 litres of water, as NAF prescribes. Sponge your horse from top to bottom, scrape off the excess water and let it dry: no rinsing. Avoid the eyes. NAF gives no cautions and no storage advice for this product; keep the bottle well closed and frost-free.

Do I have to rinse afterwards?
No. NAF presents this explicitly as a no-rinse body wash: sponge on, scrape off and let dry.

How much product do I need?
NAF gives a clear dosage: 2 capfuls to 5 litres of water.

What is in it?
NAF names essential lavender oil and states that there are no hidden soaps, detergents or thickening agents. The brand publishes no full INCI list.

Can I use it instead of a shampoo?
For sweat and surface dirt after work, yes. With deep dirt or sand in the coat, choose a shampoo you rinse out.

Can I use it in winter?
Yes, that is exactly the advantage of not rinsing. Use warm water and then walk your horse dry or rug it with a rug that lets moisture through.

Which sizes exist?
NAF offers 500 ml and 5 L. At Maddelin you will find the 500 ml bottle.

May I use it before a competition?
NAF gives no information about rules or withdrawal times. Check your own federation's rules.
