Description:
A gentle cleaner to soften, loosen and remove accumulated body oils, dirt and debris (smegma). It contains tea tree oil imported from Australia to gently dissolve smegma. The cleaner rinses out easily, and will not leave a residue on the skin. Its non-irritating, specially formulated for equine use. It also helps speed up the cleansing process.
Directions:
For the sake of cleanliness, disposable gloves should be used by the individual performing this cleaning task. Also for the horses comfort, excessively cold water should be avoided.
For Sheath Cleaning:
Work Excalibur® into the folds of the sheath. Next gently pull the horses penis out of the sheath and, using pieces of cotton batting, gently remove the loose smegma. Occasionally, smegma will accumulate in a mass in the "blind pouch" above the opening of the urethra in the end of the horse's penis. This is resulting "bean" may become large enough to interfere with urination if not removed.
After all presence of smegma has been removed, rinse the horses sheath and penis as thoroughly as possible with clean water. If a horse will accept it, a gently flowing water hose may be used to flush out the sheath.
Frequencies of use:
Geldings:
Most geldings and stallions should have their sheaths cleaned at least every six months. Light-pigmented genital areas, such as in Pintos, tend to develop accumulations more quickly and therefore, will require more frequent cleaning.
Stallions:
A breeding stallion need to be washed before and after breeding a mare. Washing not only cleanses the penis, but it also helps to stimulate the stallion in preparation for breeding.
Mares:
A smegma like substance occasionally collects between the teats of a mare's udder. This material can cause irritation to the mare resulting in her rubbing her tail. Therefore, mares should be checked periodically for cleanliness.
