Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023
From jump, things were disappointing. One of my horses had some rain rot, so I ordered two bottles. This product isn't cheap, so when my package arrived and one of the bottles was open in the shipping envelope and product was EVERYWHERE, well, losing twenty five dollars of product right off the bat left a bad taste in my mouth. The way this is packaged and shipped leaves a lot to be desired, especially since, given the product's ingredients, the profit margin on this has to be enormous. Perhaps some tape or shrink wrapping is in order?

Out in the barn, this stuff pours fast, so you have to be very careful and precise with your application. Either the holes in the dispenser top need to be smaller, or a different container should be used. I taped off some of the holes because the bottles are very small and it's far too easy to over-pour, making unnecessary wastage a huge problem. You'll want to have a game plan in place to use this as efficiently as possible, and perhaps put this in a different container entirely for application.

Having said everything about the packaging for shipping that's sorely lacking and the tiny, less than ideal product container the manufacturer is using to package the actual product, it does work. My horse had some fairly large patches, and within a few days, he was healing noticeably and had new hair popping up. Unfortunately, I needed that wasted bottled lost to a shipping disaster, and one bottle wasn't quite enough. (Once he started healing and I was able to bathe and dry him thoroughly, we didn't need the powder, so we made do.)

Pros - It's effective. The powder is a less messy alternative than sticky or smelly products (MTG, I'm looking at you!), and it's great for those times when it's too cold or late to bathe. Simple ingredients.

CONS: Very expensive. Containers are far too small for horses, much less barns with multiple horses. The packaging for shipping is non-existent, so failure of packaging in shipping is a legitimate concern. The product packaging isn't great for application. There's not enough product for the intended audience: horse people with multiple horses who want to keep this on-hand in their barn. There don't appear to be any proprietary ingredients, so it may be worth your while to collect ingredients individually and make your own if you have multiple horses.

While I love the powder formula, can attest unequivocally to its effectiveness, and how easy it is to use to treat rain rot, I wouldn't purchase again unless I found it deeply discounted and could insure it would reach me intact. It turned out to not be a good value for me personally due to packaging fails, overall cost, and far too small amount of product vs expense. I have a barn full of seven of my own horses but can't afford to keep this on hand. A bulk option at a discounted price would prompt me to reconsider, though!

I love this product! Easy to apply powder. When it gets colder out and bathing your horse is not an option, this product takes care of the sweat! Just rub it in with your hand, and your horse is good to go. You can also use a brush to help distribute it. Great on sensitive skin too! No offensive odor! Great product!

I always have a can of Coat Defense on hand. I mostly use it in the winter after long trail rides to dry the sweat off my horses winter coat before putting his blanket on. It works fast, smells great and leaves his coat soft and shiny when it dries. As the owner of a grey (white) horse I love using it to cover up those stubborn stains that won't lift with stain removers. I treat with a stain remover and then add Coat Defense while the coast is still wet. The Coat Defense covers the stain like grooming chalk. Once the coat is dry and brushed out it seems to help lift the stain underneath. Coat Defense dries with a white residue, I love it for the white horse, not sure if I would appreciate it as much if my horse were bay. Also good in the spring for itchiness from shedding out and bugs.
