Description
Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo is a luxurious, gentle cleansing treatment made for the long, delicate hair of the mane and tail. It is not a quick all-over wash. It is formulated as a dedicated spa-style ritual that lifts away dust and grime while caring for every strand from root to tip.
Enriched with premium botanical extracts and essential oils, this shampoo turns bath time into a moment of genuine indulgence. Hair comes out exceptionally soft to the touch and radiantly shiny under any light, with a beautifully fresh fragrance that lingers long after the final rinse.
Why horse owners choose Reluxe
Piaffe was built on the belief that grooming should feel like a considered ritual, not a chore squeezed in before feeding time. Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo reflects that philosophy in every drop. It cleanses thoroughly without stripping the natural oils that keep hair resilient, so the mane and tail finish refreshed rather than dry or brittle. Owners who care about presentation, and horses who simply enjoy being fussed over, both benefit from a formula that treats hair as something worth looking after properly.
The blend of botanical extracts and essential oils works together with Castor Oil and Jojoba Oil to deliver a wash that feels indulgent but stays practical for regular use in a working yard. It suds gently, rinses cleanly, and leaves no heavy residue, so it slots into an existing grooming routine without adding fuss.

How to use
- Wet the mane and tail thoroughly with warm or lukewarm water, and make sure the hair is saturated through to the base.
- Apply a generous amount of Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo along the length of the hair, focusing on the areas that carry the most dirt or grease.
- Massage the shampoo gently through the lengths and into the roots, working it in with your fingers rather than scrubbing hard.
- Leave the shampoo to sit for a few minutes so the botanical oils and extracts can work through the hair.
- Rinse thoroughly and repeatedly until the water runs completely clear and no product remains.
- Follow with a suitable conditioner or detangler to lock in softness and make brushing easier once the hair is dry.
Built for show days and every day
Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo earns its place in the grooming kit for two very different reasons. On show mornings, it delivers the visible shine and smoothness that help a plait sit beautifully and a tail flow with movement in the ring. You step back from the wash stall knowing the final coat of polish has been handled properly, with hair that looks and feels genuinely well kept.
On ordinary days, the same formula earns its keep by making grooming easier. A mane or tail washed with Reluxe responds better to brushing, holds less static, and picks up less dust between washes. That means less time fighting knots and more time enjoying the horse in front of you, whether you are heading out for a hack, tacking up for a lesson, or simply keeping standards high in the stable. You will want to reach for it often, not save it for special occasions.
What makes it different
Many grooming routines rely on a single all-purpose body wash for the entire horse, mane and tail included. Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo takes a different approach. It is formulated for the structure of mane and tail hair, which is longer, coarser and more prone to tangling than the coat, and so needs a different kind of care. A generic wash can leave this hair dry or difficult to manage, while a dedicated treatment is designed with those particular demands in mind.
A considered oil blend, built around Castor Oil and Jojoba Oil alongside premium botanical extracts, is central to that difference. The formula does not simply lift dirt away. It supports softness and shine as part of the cleansing process itself, so the results extend well beyond a simple wash. The outcome is hair that not only looks clean but looks and feels genuinely cared for.
Ingredient spotlight
Grooming circles have long valued Castor Oil for its rich, nourishing texture, and here it plays a central role in boosting shine and softness. Worked through the mane and tail during washing, it helps the hair reflect light more beautifully once dry, and it supports a smoother, silkier feel that carries through to the next brushing session.
Jojoba Oil brings a different but complementary benefit. Lightweight and easily absorbed, it provides hydration without weighing the hair down or leaving it heavy or greasy. That makes it particularly well suited to fine or delicate hair that needs moisture but cannot afford to lose volume or movement. Together with the wider blend of botanical extracts and essential oils, Castor Oil and Jojoba Oil form the foundation of what makes Reluxe feel less like a wash and more like a genuine treatment.
Mane & tail care tips
- Always detangle from the bottom up, working through small sections at a time so you do not pull on healthy hair near the roots.
- Avoid over-brushing when the hair is completely dry, because excessive friction can encourage breakage over time.
- Condition regularly after washing to maintain softness and make each detangling session easier.
- Let the mane and tail air dry where possible before brushing, since hair is generally more prone to stretching and breaking when wet.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I wash the mane and tail with this shampoo?
That depends on your horse’s coat, workload and environment, but Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo is gentle enough for regular use as part of a normal grooming routine. Many owners find washing every week or two, or before a show, works well. Horses prone to a dry mane or tail may prefer slightly less frequent washing, paired with regular conditioning between baths.
Does it help with detangling?
Yes. The formula leaves hair noticeably softer and smoother, which naturally reduces resistance when you brush or comb through knots. For particularly tangled manes or tails, following the shampoo with a dedicated conditioner or detangler makes detangling even easier and more comfortable for your horse.
Is it safe for horses with sensitive skin?
Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo is formulated as a gentle cleansing treatment using premium botanical extracts and essential oils. As with any grooming product, we recommend introducing it gradually and watching your horse’s response, particularly if they have a history of sensitivity. Stop using it if you notice any irritation.
Can I use it alongside Refresh Mane & Tail Cream or Release Spray Conditioner?
Yes. Reluxe Mane & Tail Shampoo is designed to work well as part of a wider mane and tail care routine. Following a wash with a leave-in cream or spray conditioner can extend the softness and manageability the shampoo provides, and gives you a more complete approach to daily and pre-show grooming.
Will it help with a thin or breaking tail?
No shampoo can address the underlying causes of hair breakage on its own, but Reluxe is formulated to support softer, more manageable hair, which can help reduce the friction and pulling that often contribute to breakage during grooming. Gentle handling, careful detangling from the bottom up, and regular conditioning alongside washing all play an important supporting role.
Is the fragrance strong?
The shampoo leaves a beautifully fresh, pleasant fragrance on the mane and tail without being overpowering. It feels indulgent and luxurious during use, and the scent it leaves is noticeable but comfortable to be around for both horse and handler.
Will it help achieve extra shine for shows?
Yes. Shine is one of the key benefits this shampoo is designed to deliver. The blend of Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil and premium botanical extracts leaves the mane and tail looking radiant and healthy once dry, so it makes a useful step in your pre-show preparation alongside careful brushing and styling.
