LEOVET 5-Star Detangler 550ml – Shine & Conditioning Spray for Horses

Leovet 5-Star Detangler – Mane, Tail & Coat Spray, 550ml

The 5-Star Detangler is the spray leovet build the rest of the 5-Star range around. Sprayed into a dry mane or tail it lets a comb drop through knots that would otherwise have to be picked apart by hand, and on the body it puts a slick, dust-shedding finish on the coat that lasts for days rather than hours.

leovet name three plant-derived ingredients in it: arginine, which they call the essential hair nutrient for better hair growth; Pentavitin from wheat, which they say stops itching and dry skin and is highly moisturising; and provitamin B5, or panthenol, for nourished hair with volume. At 550ml the bottle is generous, which it needs to be if you are doing a full tail as well as a neck.

Performance & Benefits

• Combs tangles out of manes and tails quickly, with far less hair pulled out in the process.
• Arginine, Pentavitin from wheat, and provitamin B5 (panthenol) are the three ingredients leovet name.
• Repels dust and dirt, which leovet say lasts for many days after application.
• Speeds up grooming on a horse that lives out and comes in mud-caked.
• leovet report that 90% of their testers named it their favourite detangler; that is leovet's own test claim, not an independent one.

Suitable For

• Thick, long or easily knotted manes and tails.
• Everyday grooming and competition turnout alike.
• Horses whose coats attract dust between washes.
• Avoid the saddle patch and the girth area before you ride — it is designed to make hair slippery.

How to Use

• Spray onto a dry mane or tail from a few inches away, section by section.
• Leave it a moment to work in, then comb through from the bottom of the tail upwards.
• For coat shine, mist lightly over the body and finish with a soft brush or cloth.
• Keep it off the saddle and girth area, and off the reins if you spray the neck.
• leovet publish no dosage or step-by-step directions on their website; the method above is normal practice for a detangling spray.

• If any gets into an eye, rinse at once with plenty of clean water.
