"Smells good and leaves a beautiful shine to the coat"

— Hal

"Zero noticeable bug repellant properties. It kind of has a greasy feel on my hands but does not do a good job moisturizing my horses coat. The reason I bought this was so that the citronella would allow me to use a little less fly spray, but it seems all I got was a pretty subpar quality horse shamp..."

Bottom Line

Good for a basic clean, but consider alternatives for bug repellent properties.
