OUR BEGINNING

At Bonela Equine, we understand the challenges horse owners face when trying to find natural products that are truly effective.

Our team has more than 30 years of experience with horses. While living in Spain and managing a trekking center with numerous horses to care for, we struggled to find affordable solutions to meet our needs.

Drawing on our expertise in botanicals and skincare, our founder conducted research to explore how her knowledge could benefit our herd. This led to the development of a range of horse care products.

These products underwent testing and refinement and proved to be highly effective for our own horses. As clients witnessed the positive results, requests started pouring in to purchase the products for personal use. This demand prompted the birth of Bonela Equine.

WHY CHOOSE NATURAL

Natural products are becoming increasingly popular and their health related benefits are widely recognised. Consumers are becoming increasingly mindful of the choices they make and are looking past buzzwords like “natural” and “organic” and beginning to look at more specific information, checking labels for ingredients and making more informed choices. 

For centuries, our earliest known human ancestors have used plants to treat a variety of ailments, in fact knowledge about the healing properties of plants predates all other medicinal treatments.

​

We firmly believe in the benefits of natural botanicals and just like many others, we are becoming more and more conscious about the chemical content of the products we use. So many grooming products on the market today contain harsh and potentially dangerous chemicals, that are not only damaging for the environment, but can cause a plethora of problems for your horse, therefore we have created a range of products that we believe offer the best natural alternative to chemical products.

At Bonela Equine, neem oil is one of our star ingredients—and for good reason. Often referred to as “nature’s pharmacy”, neem oil has been celebrated for centuries for its powerful healing and protective properties. It's a cornerstone of traditional Ayurvedic medicine, and even the United Nations has named the neem tree the “Tree of the 21st Century.”

Why Neem Oil Is So Powerful?

Promotes wound Healing
Neem oil supports the skin’s natural repair processes, helping to speed up healing, reduce scarring, and relieve pain.

Antibacterial, Antifungal & Antiviral
Packed with compounds like nimbin and azadirachtin, neem oil naturally fights off bacteria, fungi, and viruses—making it ideal for treating cuts, bites, rashes, and irritated skin.

Anti-Inflammatory Relief
Neem contains sodium nimbinate, a natural anti-inflammatory that helps soothe swelling, reduce redness, and ease discomfort in irritated or inflamed skin.

Natural Insect Repellent
Azadirachtin, a key compound in neem oil, makes it one of the most effective natural insect deterrents. It repels ticks, midges, mites, and mosquitoes—often more effectively than synthetic chemicals like DEET. Insects actively avoid neem-treated skin, making it perfect for keeping your horse comfortable and protected.

Soothes & Nourishes
In addition to its medicinal properties, neem oil helps relieve itchiness, dryness, and irritation. It promotes healthy skin and hair growth—making it a versatile addition to grooming and healing products.


A Hero Ingredient in Every Formula

​Neem oil is a one-stop wonder. Its blend of healing, protective, and nourishing qualities makes it a key ingredient in all our products—from healing balms to fly-repelling summer salves and hair growth serums. When we say “natural care,” neem is at the heart of it.
