Horse Sunscreen & Sun Protection
Protect your horse from harsh UV rays with our range of horse sunscreen, zinc creams, and sun protection products. Great for horses with white faces or pink skin!
Why Do Horses Need Sun Protection?
Just like people, horses can suffer from sunburn - especially those with pink skin, white markings, or hairless areas due to healing wounds. The Australian sun can be intense, and prolonged exposure can lead to painful burns, skin irritation, and even long-term damage.
What Types of Horse Sun Protection Are Available?
- Zinc Creams & Lotions: These act as a physical barrier, reflecting UV rays. Ideal for noses, faces, and other exposed areas.
- UV-Blocking Gels: Lightweight and easy to apply, offering daily protection.
- Fly Masks with UV Protection: Cover sensitive facial areas and offer dual protection from sun and flies. Shop fly masks.
- UV Rugs & Neck Covers: Great for horses with light coats or who are prone to sunburn on their backs and sides. Browse horse rugs.
When Should You Use Sunscreen on Your Horse?
Apply sunscreen daily during peak UV months (Spring–Summer), especially on sunny days. Reapply after heavy sweating, washing, or rain. Horses on photosensitising medications may also require extra protection year-round.
Common Areas to Apply Horse Sunscreen:
- Nose and muzzle
- White blazes or pink patches on the face
- Healed wounds or scars
- Any exposed areas with light pigmentation
