Specialist equine skin, feather & grooming care, developed through generations of experience with traditional cobs.
Caring for a feathered horse with Mallanders or Sallanders can raise lots of questions. In this practical guide, Gypsy Cob owner Amanda Moore shares a clear, owner-focused look at these conditions and the day-to-day care of feathered legs.
The guide covers how Mallanders and Sallanders differ from CPL, common myths, routine and seasonal care, washing, and when oils or gels may be suitable. It also discusses gentle leg handling and when signs such as pain, cracking or infection call for veterinary advice.

A Touch Moore was born from almost 40 years of hands-on experience with horses and ponies, and generations spent around traditional cobs through Moore’s Gypsy Cobs.
After years of trying products that never quite gave us what we wanted, we began developing products for our own horses — products we could trust and were happy to use in our own yard.
Today, A Touch Moore has grown from those beginnings into a specialist equine care brand, with products for Mallanders & Sallanders, skin, feather and grooming care. Everything we develop is still guided by the same principle: if we wouldn’t use it on our own cobs, we wouldn’t ask you to use it on yours.
From our cobs to yours.
I honestly can't recommend the shampoo and feather oil enough, our little shetlands tail is covered in Mallanders and I've been using this product regularly, it's very gently lifting all the scabs away and leaving beautiful skin behind. The vet we saw yesterday was incredibly impressed with how these products were working and even took a pic of bottles I took with me as they liked it so much!
