Is it used before or after the saddle?

Both. Before saddling: on the contact areas, to reduce friction. After work: on the most stressed areas, letting it work until the next outing.

Can it be used on irritated skin?

Fiaccatura should be applied to intact skin. In the presence of wounds, lesions or skin alterations, consult your veterinarian.

How long does a jar last with daily use?

With 2–3 areas treated every day: the 200 g lasts about 5–6 weeks. The 400 g about 3 months.

Why it works

The key benefits

Daily comfort

Reduces friction in the areas in contact with saddle and tack.

Compact coat

Helps keep the coat compact in the contact areas.

Mineral barrier

Applied before the saddle, it creates a thin barrier that reduces the friction coefficient between skin and tack.

Mineral film

As it dries, it forms a mineral film that covers the area and shields it from dust, dirt and friction: a natural barrier against insects, flies and horseflies.

When to use it

What Fiaccatura is for

Instructions

How to apply

Identify the area

Locate the contact and friction areas: withers, chest, abdomen, head, hocks.

Apply before work

Before saddling: spread a thin layer with your fingers over the contact areas. Non-occlusive, sweat transpires normally.

Most stressed areas

Where friction is most intense, apply a more generous layer. Apply to intact skin.

The formula

Natural ingredients

Fiaccatura was born from the observation that the products on the market for friction areas were either too greasy (and worsened friction) or too aggressive. The answer lay in simplicity: dry clay that protects, absorbing sweat and preventing friction.
