ShowBarn Secret Lavender Shampoo: The Soothing Solution for Your Horse's Post-Training Regime

Soothing Lavender Shampoo for Horses

Not every bath is about whitening, stripping, or deep correction. Some are about resetting the coat and ending the day on a calm note.

ShowBarn Secret® Soothing Lavender Shampoo is designed for those moments. A gentle, naturally derived cleanser that leaves the coat clean, soft, and lightly scented without overwhelming sensitive horses.

It fits seamlessly into post-competition bathing, travel days, or anytime you want a clean finish without harsh detergents or heavy fragrance.

What Makes It Different

This shampoo is formulated with a coconut-based surfactant system selected for mild cleansing performance. It is free from sulfates and unnecessary fillers that can dry the coat or leave residue behind.

The lavender-forward scent profile is intentionally subtle. It adds a clean, fresh finish without overpowering the horse’s senses or lingering unnaturally.

Why Riders Choose Lavender

Clean, Calm Finish

Lavender is used for its familiar, balanced scent that many riders associate with calm, clean grooming routines without creating a heavy aromatic presence.

Gentle Daily-Use Formula

Designed to cleanse without stripping natural oils, making it suitable for frequent use during busy show schedules or travel weeks.

Easy Bathing Experience

Applies smoothly, rinses clean, and leaves no sticky or chalky residue behind. Just straightforward, predictable grooming.

How to Use

  • Wet the coat thoroughly
  • Apply shampoo and work into a light lather with a sponge or brush
  • Rinse completely until water runs clear
  • Allow the coat to dry naturally or towel dry as needed

For best results, follow with your preferred ShowBarn Secret® grooming products to maintain coat condition and presentation.

A Thoughtful End to the Grooming Routine

ShowBarn Secret® Soothing Lavender Shampoo is not designed to fix problems or overpower the senses. It is designed to finish well.

Clean coat. Soft feel. Subtle scent. The kind of grooming product that earns its place in the wash rack because it behaves the same way every time.
