Cold, damp weather makes grooming harder—but your horse’s skin and coat don’t have to suffer. ShowBarn Secret® Powder Coat offers a talc-free, natural way to keep coats clean, dry, and healthy all winter long.
Winter riding means sweat under blankets, limited bathing, and damp stalls—all of which can irritate skin and dull coats. A grooming product that works without water is a game-changer.
Unlike traditional powders, Powder Coat is talc-free and non-toxic, minimizing risk of skin or respiratory irritation. Its natural base makes it safe for daily use—even in sensitive areas.
Pro Tip: Powder Coat isn’t just for winter—keep it handy year-round to freshen coats, manage sweat, and cut down on grooming time before shows.
More than a grooming powder, Powder Coat is an essential part of your kit for winter horse care. With natural clays, oils, and protective minerals, it helps your horse look and feel their best even when baths aren’t an option.
