Specialist equine skin, feather & grooming care, developed through generations of experience with traditional cobs.
Mallanders & Sallanders Care for Horses
At A Touch Moore, Mallanders and Sallanders care is at the heart of what we do. Our range was developed through years of hands-on experience caring for traditional cobs and managing the dry, thickened and keratinised skin associated with these conditions.
Mallanders typically affects the skin behind the front knees, while Sallanders affects the front of the hocks. They are associated with hyperkeratosis — an overproduction and build-up of keratin — and are particularly common in heavily feathered horses and traditional cobs.
Our specialist range includes Mallanders shampoo, gels, creams and feather-care products designed to help soften and manage keratin build-up, care for the skin and support an ongoing maintenance routine.
We believe good management is about consistency, not picking or forcibly removing scabs. Our products and advice have grown from what we use with our own horses at Moore’s Gypsy Cobs.
From our cobs to yours.
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!
