Product Information

Please Note: These size guides are approximate and each brand's measurements and sizing criteria may vary. SSS i used this on my pony it acts as a fly repellent and i is oils based.. i use it on me as an after sun.. but i do know some peeps that will use this and other oil in the sun.. you are quite literally "cooking " your skin to get a tan!! I'm new on here and wondered if I could ask advice on Pig Oil. I have read that a few of you already use pig oil on Hairy horses and most think it's good. I am using it for the first time on my traditional cob Dylan, hoping it will help with mud during the winter and keep his feathers looking good. I can use Pig Oil with Tea Tree oil in it if I just get a sponge and whisk it over the coat, that's OK. So would say its definately the sulphur which is the problem as its obviously very caustic and/or irritant.

I've used it for years as a coat shiner when showing and never had a problem, but after reading some of the problems other forum users have had, I will think twice before using it in very hot sunny weather. Hi, we hope you enjoy looking around New Rider. We are a very friendly board so don't feel afraid to ask your questions. Register now, say 'Hello' and join in the conversations.I used a small brush to brush it well into the hair. As a treatment, I applied it twice over about two weeks. As a preventative, I applied it roughly the same time as hoof trims (so about 6 weekly in winter). One of mine reacted to the sulphur mixed in pig oil and it burnt his feathers off. He's fine with pig oil alone. I apply every 2-4 days from the knee down depending on how wet it is and how greasy their legs still are. I use pig oil on its own though as they don't currently have mud fever. I only used it with the sulphur when they actually had mud fever as it's supposed to help it heal, but once it's all gone pig oil on its own is fine. Neither of mine have a reaction to it but obviously some horses may and fewer applications might be better for them. My boy is more prone to mud fever so he gets it every 3 days or so but the mare is a lot hairer and has never had mf so I do her about every 5-6 days I guess. I do however apply every day for about a week when first beginning to use it for the winter to build it up. I know that the first application has to be on clean dry legs (so he's having a bath tomorrow) but how do I apply the next application in a few weeks time. Will I have to shampoo his feathers again or after the first lot can you just re-apply because they are already clean and protected? I really hope it's as good as it says, as he is soooo hard to keep clean during the winter and anything that helps will be a bonus Sulphur, or flowers of sulphur in this case, is an anti-bacterial agent, also called sulphur powder. It has a bright yellow colour and has been used to support skin health for centuries – not just mud fever – sulphur is also used to support other skin issues too.

I used the pig oil and it reacted awfully on two of my mares, mud fever would have been easier to deal with.Felt really stupid that I hadn't done a patch test first but tbh I'd never heard at that point of anyone's horse(s) having a reaction. Won't make that mistake again, though I haven't actually used it since. Pig Oil is actually a mineral oil just the same as Baby Oil, but it's a thinner consistency and doesn't contain perfumes.I would definately patch test and WAIT for for 2 weeks as that seems to be the amount of time the results take. Ditto post above re. patch testing first (48 hrs). Having heard it mentioned on here, I tried it on my traddie boy. He's got white hair and pink legs. Big mistake. Poor boy, he came up all red and sore. Stupidly I should have patched tested first, but I had no idea it could be so caustic.
