EXCALIBUR® SHEATH CLEANER FOR HORSES
A gentle cleanser to soften, loosen and remove accumulated body oils, dirt and debris (smegma). Ingredients:
Cleaning formula with tea tree oil.
Directions for Use:
Frequency of Use: 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 needs 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.
Directions:
For the sake of cleanliness, disposable gloves should be used by the individual performing this cleaning task. Also for the horse's comfort, excessively cold water should be avoided. Squeeze out a liberal amount of EXCALIBUR® into the palm of your hand and place up into the horse's sheath. Working the product well into the folds of the sheath. Allow 3 - 5 minutes for EXCALIBUR® to soften and loosen smegma. Next, gently pull the horse's 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 resulting “bean” may become large enough to interfere with urination if not removed. After all presence of smegma has been removed, rinse the horse's 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.
