RECONNECTING WITH NATURE
The story behind Bonela Equine
OUR BEGINNING
At Bonela Equine, we understand the challenge of finding natural grooming products that deliver professional results. With over 30 years of equestrian experience, including managing a busy trekking centre in Spain, our team struggled to find plant-based solutions that met our high standards for coat and skin maintenance.
Drawing on experience in botanicals and skincare, our founder applied her expertise to develop a specialized range of grooming aids for our own herd. Through careful refinement, these formulas provided exceptional conditioning and support for our horses. After witnessing the healthy appearance and visible comfort of our animals, clients began requesting the products for their own use, leading to the birth of Bonela Equine.
THE BONELA EQUINE WAY
Comfort from the skin out
Grooming shouldn’t be complicated. And it shouldn’t work against your horse’s skin.
At Bonela Equine, we’ve created a complete,
naturally derived grooming system — where every product is designed to work in harmony, using plant-based ingredients to support skin comfort, coat condition, and overall balance.
Because when the skin is healthy, everything changes.
THE PURE SHIELD SYSTEM
Why Our Natural System Works
Many grooming routines rely on a mix of products with harsh or conflicting ingredients, which can disrupt the skin’s natural balance over time.
Our approach is different.
We use naturally derived ingredients, carefully selected and consistently used across the range, to support the skin in a gentle, balanced way.
Each product is designed to:
- Work in harmony with the others
- Support a calm, balanced skin environment
- Provide consistent, complementary care using botanical ingredients
The result is a routine that feels simple, effective, and aligned with your horse’s natural needs.
Powered by Nature, Led by Neem
At the heart of the entire system is one key ingredient: neem oil.
Used across all products and supported by other plant-based ingredients, neem forms part of a shared botanical foundation that runs
through the range.
This means:
- The skin is supported consistently at every step
- Ingredients work with each other, not against each other
- The routine remains gentle, balanced, and effective
We don’t overload the skin — we nurture it, naturally.
One System, Six Essential Products
Our complete grooming system includes six naturally formulated products, each with a clear role:
- Cleanse – Pure Shield Soothing Shampoo gently refreshes while maintaining natural balance for the skin and the coat
- Support – Pure Shield Comfort Spray provides daily botanical care for skin and coat by reducing irritation and soothing and supporting the skin
- Protect – Pure Shield Summer Balm creates a long-lasting, plant-based barrier for exposed areas offering relief from summer nuisances and seasonal irritations
- Target – Pure Shield Comfort Balm supports delicate or compromised skin
- Nourish – Pure Shield Intensive Serum offers deep nourishment and reduces irritation for a healthy, fuller looking Mane & Tail
- Maintain – Pure Shield Conditioning Mist lightly conditions, detangles, and supports strength giving daily support for a full looking healthy mane and tail
Individually effective.
Powerful when used together.
Designed for Everyday Life — Especially in Summer
Horses are constantly exposed to changing environments, particularly during warmer months.
Our system supports:
- Comfortable calm skin

WHY CHOOSE NATURAL
The Power of Botanical Heritage
Today’s horse owners are looking past buzzwords like 'natural' and 'organic.' You are looking for specific ingredients, transparency, and a grooming routine that truly aligns with your values. At Bonela Equine, we share that focus.For centuries, botanical knowledge has been the foundation of skin and coat care. We have drawn on this ancient heritage to create a system that works in harmony with your horse's biology. We believe that nature has already provided the finest ingredients for maintaining a vibrant, healthy-looking horse—without the need for the harsh synthetic additives found in many traditional grooming products.

THE BENEFITS OF NEEM
Neem Oil: Nature’s Ultimate Botanical Barrier & Skin Support
Neem Oil—The Botanical Powerhouse
At Bonela Equine, Neem Oil is one of our star ingredients—and for good reason. Celebrated for centuries for its protective and skin-conditioning properties, Neem is a cornerstone of traditional botanical care. Often called the 'Tree of the 21st Century' by the United Nations, it remains one of nature’s most versatile extracts.
Why Neem Oil is So Vital to Our System:
- Supports Natural Skin Resilience: Neem oil is rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E, which help maintain the skin’s natural barrier. By deeply nourishing the surface, it supports the skin’s own recovery process and helps maintain a smooth, healthy appearance.
- Purifying & Balancing: Packed with natural compounds like azadirachtin, Neem oil is a powerful botanical cleanser. It helps keep the skin surface clean and balanced, making it ideal for managing areas prone to seasonal sensitivity or minor surface disruptions.
- Settles Seasonal Discomfort: Neem is known for its ability to calm the appearance of redness and soothe skin that has become dry or reactive due to environmental stressors. It provides a cooling, settled feel to the coat.
- A Natural Seasonal Barrier: The distinct, earthy aroma of Neem is a key feature of our summer range. When applied, it creates a breathable botanical layer that helps maintain your horse’s comfort during active turnout and periods of high seasonal nuisance.
- Nourishes & Conditions: Beyond its protective qualities, Neem oil is an intensive conditioner. it helps clear away dry, flaky skin and supports a healthy environment for hair to flourish—making it a vital part of our mane and tail care.
A Hero Ingredient in Every Formula
Neem oil is a true botanical multi-tasker. Its blend of protective, conditioning, and nourishing qualities makes it the heart of the Pure Shield system. From our intensive balms to our refreshing sprays, Neem ensures your horse receives the very best in traditional plant-based care."
