Removing Creosote Stains From Your Horse

Posted by & filed under Creosote, Uncategorized.

Horse owners have long been dealing with the problem of horses chewing on the fences that are meant to contain and protect them. Often, creosote is used to treat fences and deter horses from chewing through them. This can sometimes result in creosote stains on your horses’ coats that are difficult to completely remove. Fortunately, Denise Hill has recently submitted a tip for getting rid of these stubborn stains.

 

The answer is eZall adhesive remover, available for purchase at www.ezall.com or at select retailers. It comes in 32 ounce and 1 gallon spray bottles. eZall adhesive remover is plant-based and free of petroleum, toxins, and carcinogens, making it a healthy choice for your horses. In fact, all of eZall’s products are bio-based and minimally harmful to the environment.

 

Use of the product is very simple. Just spray a good amount on the hair of your horse and rinse the coat clean with water. eZall also suggests combing the product into your horses’ hair for a faster breakdown, and giving her a full wash to round out the process. The ugly creosote stain should be a thing of the past.

 

Other approaches for removing creosote stains include brushing, clipping, or shaving the area affected. Avoid using strong solvents that could damage your horse’s skin or spread to more sensitive parts of their bodies. And always be sure to wash your horse clean after any application. As always, the health and safety of your animals always come first. That’s why we do what we do at General Timber.

How Inadequate Fencing Can Harm Your Horse

Horses are a lot like people. Sometimes they like being around each other, and other times they want their own personal space, away from the crowd. Regardless of their mood, it is important to have a proper horse fence to protect and corral your animals.

 

Have you ever spent a day or two trying to corral a horse?  It can cause a lot of anxiety if you do not have a reliable horse fence, as they could wander off, and get in harm’s way.  It is a near essential for horse owners to have a fence that is dependable and durable, and can keep their beloved horses safe.

 

Do you have a fence that’s broken? Injuries to horses can occur when logs or rails splinter if broken. That one broken spot could wound your beautiful, expensive horse. It could cause you a lot of headaches, and perhaps some heartache. A broken fence could lead to chaos on the farm, vet bills, and added strain on the other horses kept there while one of their own is injured.

 

If you have a fence involving wire, a horse or pony can easily be entangled and seriously cut by the wire, sometimes fatally. A wooden fence is better than a wire fence when it comes to horses.
