This is on the material data safety sheets. i wouldn't use it on horses.

 

Main ingredients, from the material safety sheet are:

• 50% Stoddard solvent (mineral spirits),
• 25% Liquified petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant, carbon dioxide is used now to reduce considerable flammability.),
• 15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil), and
• 10-% Inert ingredients

The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety relevant ingredients:

• 60% - 80% Heavy Naphtha (petroleum product), hydrogen treated
• 1% - 5% Carbon dioxide

It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile gloves and safety glasses should be used. Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40.

It may be fish oil, but it has petroleum distillates in it and is flammable
(I've heard.)  Anyway, it smells like some sort of petroleum product.  I
don't suppose it would hurt a horse's mane, but I don't care for the smell.
I use it to wash the horse hair out of electric clippers.
