Hi Everyone!
I have been asked several times this summer by my clients if there is anything to help with horse skin ailments like summer itch and I am so delighted to share this information that I was given this past spring from a trainer friend of mine. I have seen proof that this works....
It’s a little pricey but so worth the horse’s comfort. If your horse has summer itch or is allergic to the bite/saliva of the black flies, or gets fungus yuck, this fruit powder is simply amazing. It’s called Sea Buckthorn. I get it from Z Natural Products over the internet and I order the 5 lb bag which should get you through the summer months. It is simply amazing. Doing research on the fruit, it’s history goes back to Ancient Greece and it became nicknamed “Shiny Horse.” I have used it on one horse that has spent her summer years being miserable and when we put her on it this Spring, oh my gosh, it is such a blessing for her not to be in torment and no longer scrubbing her self raw. People use it as well. I feed about 4 tbsps per day, I would start with more, probably double the dosage for a week, just to tank up their system and then maintenance with the 4 tbsps.
Share this information with all your horse pals. I only wish I had stock in this company. It is important to buy the 100% pure powder. Most importantly is helping out our horse friends/partners.
