We are going to spray, lubricate and wash en masse in the hope that flies, mosquitoes, horseflies and other insects stay as far away as possible. It is not surprising that the fly-resistant waxes from the English brand Eqwax are so incredibly popular.
We got it, we are big fans ourselves. As mentioned, Eqwax is an English brand and the products they develop consist solely of natural (vegetable) ingredients. The waxes are popular because; T he waxes are very effective, do not evaporate quickly, are easy to apply, come in plastic-free packaging, are handmade and last but not least... they smell amazing!
In this blog we explain what the differences are, so that you can make the best choice. There are four different EqWax waxes;
☽ Lemongrass
☽ Citronella
☽ Horsefly
☽ Take Wonder Wax
The main ingredient of the lemongrass wax is lemongrass. The lemongrass, together with the citronella, is seen as the two 'all round' waxes. They provide protection against flies, gadflies and horseflies.
The Citronella Fly Repellent has a strong smell and this wax is also a very nice 'all rounder'. The scent of this wax reminds us a bit of vacation, those yellow citronella candles in front of your tent. Well, it is of course not for nothing that so many fly-resistant products contain citronella, it works!

Okay, we have Greta Thunberg's seal of approval. But I hear you thinking, does it work? The answer is, closely and or! Data was central to the development of the ideal mix of ingredients and an effective effect for the specific application. These beauties also have brains. Finally, they were exposed to an extremely critical test panel with very dirty horses. How do you find the operation? Leave a review.
Which Boho Bar is most suitable for me?
The Boho Bars are especially unique because data and testing were central to the development and only when everyone was really satisfied with the operation did we start developing them. As a result, we strive to offer a suitable shampoo bar for every coat and for every application. Currently we have 5 Boho Bars:
The main ingredients of this "Sensitive Bar" are green clay and neem oil. The green clay has a strong cleansing effect and supports the restorative capacity of the skin. It is also very effective as a natural support for skin problems. The Neem oil has a positive effect on dry skin, eczema, itching and is anti-inflammatory. This combination goes just as well as Gin and Tonic, or am I saying something crazy? In any case, the Sensitive Bar is a product that you always want to have on hand.
Our Whitening Bar ensures that your horse will shine again. Brazilian clay has been added to this bar for the 'silver shampoo effect'. To make white, gray and palomino colored coats, tails and manes shine. In addition to the fine scent, lavender also has a soothing and calming effect. This way you and your horse become completely zen.
The name "Bye Bye Fly Bar" reveals its effect. We hate insects and so does your horse. That's why we developed this bar that is one of a kind. Lemongrass, eucalyptus and cloves may be nice scents to us but flies find this a turn off! Horse relaxed, you relaxed
We must not forget that it is called "equestrian sport", with an emphasis on sport. Not only do you need a little cooling of the muscles after a long ride, but so does your horse. That's why we developed this "Cooling Down Bar" with Alkanet root and Arnica as main ingredients. Alkanet root has an anti-inflammatory effect and makes the bar look sizzling. Arnica has a restorative effect on muscles and joints. Great after an intensive training, competition or long ride.
