To bathe your horse without showering yourself: is it even possible?

Summer is here and the days are getting warmer… During this time, you probably spend a lot of time showering your horse to get him to cool down a bit. And so, as any rider, you most likely know the dilemma most of us are facing: bathing your horse without getting a shower yourself: is it truly possible?

I mean, we all know that horse that never stays put, ends up stepping on the hose, pulls on the lead rope, wants to play with water or just can’t wait to shake it all off. Often times, both end up as wet as the other! Anyways, with the current 35 C degrees we’re not that mad about it ^^

I offer you a few of my best horse showering tips for this season:

Go easy! Horses’ bodies are warm, especially if they are in a field or paddock, more or less in the sun. Start with the legs and make your way progressively to the neck and shoulders. You can then go towards the back and finish by the loin and croup.

Don’t forget the sweat scraper! If you leave your horse soaked without scraping off the excess water, the water will stay between the skin and the hair and will get warm with the ambient heat. It will then have the opposite effect of what was intended: getting the horse warm instead of freshened up.

If the horse stays in a box, make him walk in in the shade.

What about a shampoo?

It’s the perfect time to enjoy applying a nice shampoo all over your horse’s body! We offer three types of shampoo:

EASY SHINE SHAMPOO: Easy Shine’s classic

EASY SHINE GREY: Specifically designed for light or grey horses

EMOUCHINE SHAMPOO: Treatment shampoo

I also take this opportunity to remind you that the horse’s epidermis is thinner than ours and has a less acidic pH. It is thus preferable to rather used suited products that will respect their sensitive skin and reduce skin reactions. All Ravene products are specifically designed for horses.

Thank you for reading,

Amélie

In the event of a delivery delay of more than fifteen working days, you can cancel the order, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or in writing on another durable medium, if, after having instructed us, in the same manner, to make the delivery within a reasonable subsequent delivery period, we failed to fulfil it within this time.

The order is considered cancelled on receipt of the letter or written notice informing us of this cancellation, unless we fulfil it in the meantime.

In this case, you will receive a refund within fourteen days after the date on which the order was cancelled.

ARTICLE 7 – GUARANTEES

7.1. In accordance with current legal regulations, we hereby inform you that you have a legal guarantee of conformity as well as a legal guarantee for hidden defects which could, where applicable, affect the item that you have purchased, as specified in Articles L. 217-1 et seq. of the French consumer code and Articles 1641 – 1649 of the French civil code which you will find copies of below.

7.2. Conformity

In accordance with current legal regulations, you have a legal guarantee of conformity as specified in Articles L. 217-1 et seq. of the French consumer code.

You have a period of two years from delivery to act. This guarantee is however limited to the expiry date of each product shown on the packaging as well as their correct intended use.

You are exempt from showing proof of the lack of conformity of the goods within twenty-four months following delivery of the goods.

We will be able to challenge this presumption if this is not compatible with the nature of the goods or the alleged lack of conformity.

The legal guarantee of conformity applies independently of any commercial guarantees.

In the event of a proven lack of conformity, we will replace the product without any charge to you.

In the event of lack of conformity, you can request either repair or replacement of the product concerned. If however, this choice would result in a demonstrably disproportionate cost in relation to the other method, given the value of the product or the significance of the defect, we have the right to proceed according to the method not chosen.

7.3. Hidden defects

We guarantee that products ordered from our Site are free from hidden defects.

You can decide to implement the guarantee of hidden defects under the following conditions:

For a product defect, the guarantee of hidden defects can only be invoked if you provide proof that the defect was prior to sale and not apparent when the product was delivered, in accordance with Article 1641 of the French civil code.

The alleged defect must be serious enough to render the product unfit for its intended use.

In accordance with Article 1648 of the French civil code, the action for hidden defects must be initiated within two (2) years commencing from the discovery of the defect.

If the presence of hidden defects should be established, you will be able to choose between cancellation of the sale or a price reduction, in accordance with Article 1644 of the French civil code.

7.4. In any event all guarantees are excluded in case of normal wear and tear of your item or poor maintenance or inappropriate use.

ARTICLE 8 – RESPONSIBILITY

8.1. In accordance with current legal regulations, we are automatically responsible for the successful fulfilment of obligations resulting from sales through the Site.

Notwithstanding the above, we may be released from all or part of our responsibility by proving that the non-fulfilment or improper fulfilment of the contract is attributable, either to our co-contracting party or to the unpredictable and insurmountable fact of a third party, or to force majeure.

Where a product presents either a lack of conformity or a hidden defect, you have the choice between the legal guarantee of conformity set out in Article L211-4 of the French consumer code, and the guarantee against hidden defects for the item sold, set out in Article 1641 of the French civil code.
