Otway View Oregon, 2006 Champion Saddle Shetland

Oreo, owned by the Wight family, is kept in great condition with eco2000 Shampoo

Royal Melbourne Show,owned by The Wight Family.

"We have had three Shetlands now for our daughter Macy, they have all been dirty little critters. We tried the Eco 2000 shampoo and found that it kept not only the coat clean but also the skin. In doing this it also repelled the dirt which in turn stopped the rubbing and rolling!

"Oreo" now has a beautiful slinky coat that is as smooth as silk to touch. The whole range of Eco 2000 products are firmly entrenched down at the stables now, we couldn't be happier!"

Thanks Eco 2000

Conditioning Shampoo

"The Friesians need a lot of washing to keep all their hair soft and intact. They are washed every week and their manes and tails washed and plaited to keep them from knotting. We tried a lot of different products on the market but found nothing better then eco 2000 Conditioning Shampoo, as you use less product but get a better result. Its definitely value for money and does a wonderful of job of getting your horse clean and soft.

We use eco 2000 Show Off every day in our grooming routine to keep the manes and tails soft in their plaits and as well as repelling the dirt off their bodies. It keeps their wonderful flowing manes and tails growing even longer, and makes grooming a lot easier and quicker.

Show Off

To gain the benefits of Show Off the easiest way to use is to apply either directly to the horse using the spray bottle or wiping on with a brush or towel.

We have found this product to be of high quality and assist us in the day to day grooming of high maintenance horses. In seeing the difference in horses that use this product and those that don't, we would not recommend any other coat conditioner.

We have found that in conjunction with other Eco2000 products, the horses have maintained soft and clean coats, and it also aids in the growth of manes and tails.

Healthy Hoof

This product is most advantageous when used on hooves with bacterial infections. To prevent any infections we recommend its use once a week all year round, however with daily applications it tends to dry the hooves out.

With the presence of Tea Tree Oil, we have found this product to assist in clearing up skin infections, especially in winter when they are prone to rug abrasions.This product can be applied the same way as Eco2000 Show Off.

Conditioning Shampoo

This shampoo is great to use when you don't need to wash the horses as often. Wash horses in sections by wetting each section then apply and leave in.

Start with the mane - wet well and place a little bit of shampoo in your hand and rub into the mane straight away. Then wet the neck, place some shampoo on the neck with a currycomb then do the shoulder and belly. Make sure to apply the Conditioning Shampoo with a little water as you wash the horse in sections. Leave on to soak while doing the tail. Wet the dock and tail - starting with the dock apply and rub in the shampoo in small sections, working way down the tail. As the tail is left to soak, go back and rinse off the sections you have already done. Lastly, rinse off the tail. Dry off and spray with Show off.

CONDITIONING SHAMPOO

Think of this as your own Pert 2 in 1 for horses. This product is not only a time saver but also exactly what I've been looking for. Fitness is the prime objective to my eventing. The only way to get a horse fit is to do the miles, which means hours in the saddle. With lots of work comes lots of hosing and washing which does make their coats dry and brittle. This product is fantastic for frequent use, as the conditioning component replaces oils and adds moisture back into the skin.

I was sceptical at first, when I used the product because it does not foam. I thought to myself, "How does it clean if it doesn't foam???" Guess what, "IT DOES".  The best way to dispense the liquid is to fill a spray bottle, adding a little water and spray it on. This is quick and easy to manage, and the best is no spilling.

The conditioning shampoo is also fantastic on white markings, and greys. For those areas I pour on some concentrate and scrub the area and watch the dirt draw out from the skin and their coat, then rinse off and look at the pink glow through the white area. Once the coat dries, it repels the dirt and keeps the horse cleaner. Since using this product I have not had trouble with my horses getting saddle burns, and they have also been a lot cleaner from the skin. I use this in conjunction with eco2000, Show Off.

SHOW OFF

Show Off has been added to my daily grooming routine. I have noticed a big difference in their coat becoming softer and smoother. The most amazing thing I have found is that my CCI**** horse who has been struggling to grow a mane for the past 4 years has now actually started growing a mane. The Show Off is sprayed on from the bottle onto the area and brushed or combed in. I think it is fantastic!

HEALTHY HOOF

What a fantastic idea, why didn't anyone else think of this? The spray on hoof dressing!!!!! This has been awesome to use on their hooves and also on mud fever. The Tea Tree oil and essential minerals in the product are great for skin infections.

My farrier has noticed a great difference in my horses' hooves and the overall condition of the hoof has greatly improved. It will be interesting to see how we go in the wet weather, but I am confident that this good condition will be maintained.

WET AWAY

I have just resealed all my winter rugs in anticipation of a wet winter. I have every confidence it will do the job more than adequately. I will be happy to report back to you with the results.



Andrew Sopertalks about success with eco2000 products

Show Off

I have been using Show Off for just over 3 years now and could not be happier with the product. I use it as part of my weekly grooming program, finding that it has improved the natural glow in the hoses coats and also helps remove dead coat and unwanted dirt. It is a great product for show day.

Healthy Hoof

Again over 3 years of use my horses’ feet look great. I love the spray on, as there is no mess after you put it on. I also use it the day before a show, as I have found it has helped in the removable of hoof polish.

Shampoo & Conditioner

Also with 3 years of use I really enjoy the convience of having a shampoo and conditioner in one bottle. After washing my horses I spray show off all over them, this helps to prevent dirt getting back into the coats so quickly, making the wash last longer.

Wet Away

This has to be one of the best water proofing products I have ever used. I put it on a rug that was on an old 34-year-old pony that we had found out that loves to swim. After her swim we found that the canvas was dry and the wool lining was wet. Also it is a spray on making life easy!

LETTEROF RECOMMENDATION FOR ECO 2000

To whom it may concern

I have been a professional horse trainer in Australia for over 20 years now, and have seen, tried and applied most horse products available on the Equine market over this time.

I fell upon the ECO 2000 products approximately 2 years ago now and was impressed with the quality straight away. My horses have to perform on a weekly basis all over Australia and having there coats and feet in good health is very important, not only to me but to my audience as well.

ECO 2000 shampoo is, I believe the best on the market today, no more washing the horse twice to get all of the dirt out of the coat, there is a great result with one wash.

The Wet Away spray has proved invaluable in our very wet winters, not only on the horses rugs but on our own jackets as well.

Healthy hoof I have found is second to none, as my horses feet have never looked better, which is very important for performance horses, as they perform on different surfaces constantly, and have their diets and water changed constantly to adapt to the different states in Australia.

The ECO 2000 company have proved to me to be efficient, professional, and I feel very honored to be one of theit sponsored trainers, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

May all your rides be good ones,
Sincerely Yours,



There are better ways to keep moisture away than hiding with your horse under a tarp!

Wet-a-way

While here I am desensitizing a spooky race horse (No Longer so), I have found Wet-a-way fantastic to keep away the Mountain dew and rain off all of the horses' rugs, specially when our facilities are located high up in the Mountain ranges.

The water repellent function of Wet-a-way, not only keep the dampness out of their rugs but also off their backs.

The old saying : "No feet No Horse" is so ever true, so to me healthy hooves are paramount not only to be able to develop a training program to achieve a horse's full potential, but also a horse's productive career.

As I never have had a horse shod, and as a believer of the barefoot horse, my horse's feet are attended daily, and have found the ingredients in Healthy Hoof 'n' Skin a complement to maintaining healthy feet and using this producton a weekly basis.

Health Hoof'n'Skin

For the horse's that come here for training that are shod, Healthy Hoof 'n' Skin is great for treating any surface scratches, caused by shoes striking the front feet by over reaching common in shod horses.

I particular like how these active ingredients penetrate the hoof where they are needed most.Healthy from the inside out is what is valuable to me and my horses.

Show off

Well, (the name says it all). Also as one of the trainers in the Horse Rush TV Show, and since the horses that appear on the show are the stars, Eco's Show Off make the horses do that.

The shine and gloss that Show Off provides, accentuates the God given beauty of the horse, without removing the natural healthy oils of the horses' coat.

While horses here at Whispering Acres are allowed to be just that, horses, and get dirty and full of mud, when is time to be in the public eye on TV, we ensure they look their best, and a good start is using Eco's shampoo.It goes hand in hand with Show Off as a follow up.

Overall, I am proud to have Eco 2000 as one of my sponsors,as their products are manufactured using chemical free ingredients and having what is best for the horse in mind.

Happy trails...
