Deshedding Season 101: How Glow It Supports a Smooth Coat Transition

When the weather shifts and the hair starts flying, horse owners know exactly what’s coming: shedding season.

Whether you’re brushing out rugs’ worth of coat or just trying to keep your float clean, there’s one thing that can make the whole process easier — and that’s the right grooming support.

Enter: Glow It — Horse Queened’s multi-use, coconut oil-based coat tonic designed to nourish skin, soften hair, and help your horse shed more comfortably.

🍂 What Happens During Shedding Season?

As daylight hours increase, your horse’s coat naturally starts to shift. That thick, fluffy winter layer begins to lift — often in uneven patches — making horses itchy, uncomfortable, and prone to dry skin.

Brushing helps, but dry or coarse hair can resist coming loose, leaving you (and your clothes) covered in fuzz for weeks.

♨️ Why Hot Oil Treatments Help

A hot oil treatment is an old-school method that’s still a favourite with seasoned grooms. By sponging warm oil over the coat, it:
- Softens and loosens shedding hair
- Opens pores for better skin comfort
- Hydrates the coat at the root level
- Reduces static and dryness

It’s like giving your horse a soothing, moisturising skin treatment that also speeds up grooming.

💜 Why Glow It Is Ideal for Hot Oil Use

Glow It is more than a daily conditioner — it’s a concentrated coat tonic that’s perfect for hot oil use.

Formulated with nourishing coconut oil and blended botanicals, it hydrates deeply without leaving behind greasy residue. And unlike water-heavy sprays, Glow It actually conditions the coat — making hair more likely to shed naturally and comfortably.

It’s silicone-free, paraben-free, sulphate-free, and safe for daily use on horses and dogs.

🧴 How to Do a Hot Oil Treatment with Glow It

1. Add 50ml of Glow It into a bucket of warm water (about 5L). One bottle will do 10 treatments
2. Mix well until the oil is evenly dispersed.
3. Sponge the mixture onto your horse’s coat, working it into the skin and hair.
4. Let it absorb — no rinsing needed.
5. Follow with a curry comb or shedding tool to help lift loose hair.

Repeat weekly during peak shedding season or as needed to maintain skin hydration and coat health.

🌿 Bonus: Use Glow It Daily Too

Outside of hot oil days, Glow It works beautifully as a spray-on coat conditioner.

Use it after grooming to soften manes and tails, reduce dust build-up, and support a healthy-looking, hydrated coat. It’s your year-round grooming secret for a coat that feels as good as it looks.
