Skin Care: looking after hard-working horse skin
Your horse's skin is challenged every day by mud and wet in the paddock, by saddle and girth, by insects and sun. Skin care for horses looks after dry, rough or irritated areas and can support the skin's natural protective function. In our range you will find care creams, ointments, lotions, skin oil, powder and mousse, including products with calendula, propolis, tea tree oil or silver.
Heels, rubs and dry skin
The heels and pasterns need attention particularly often, because moisture and dirt cling there for a long time. Keep them clean and dry and care for the skin with a cream or ointment as needed. Rubs from the girth, rug or headcollar benefit from a nourishing balm. Slightly flaky or dry skin welcomes a little skin oil. Powder helps keep damp skin folds dry.
When to take a closer look
Skin changes have many causes, from mites and fungi to allergies. If your horse is rubbing a lot, stamping its legs, or has scabs, weeping patches or swelling, ask your vet to find the cause. Care products accompany treatment but do not replace it. Test new products on a small area first and wash your hands after use.
Frequently asked questions
What can I do myself about mud fever?
Keep the heels and pasterns clean and dry and stand your horse on dry ground wherever possible. Nourishing ointments can help keep the skin supple. Because mud fever can have many causes, your vet should look at it before you experiment for too long yourself.
How can I tell if my horse has mites?
Typical signs are itchy legs, frequent stamping, rubbing and scabs in the feathers, especially in horses with lots of feather. Only your vet can confirm it for certain. Caring for the skin makes sense alongside an agreed treatment.
Can I use calendula ointment on rubs?
Calendula ointment is a popular choice for caring for superficial rubs where the skin is not broken. What matters most is removing the cause, so check the girth, rug or headcollar. For open or inflamed areas, ask your vet.
Good care for your horse's skin
Healthy skin is the foundation for a shiny coat and a contented horse. In everyday life, however, there are many areas that need extra attention: heels and pasterns in the wet season, rubs under the girth and rug, dry skin after the coat change or areas exposed to insects and sun. Care creams, ointments and lotions help keep the skin supple, skin oil and mousse care for larger areas, and powder keeps damp patches dry. Choose your care product to suit the area and your horse's skin type. If there is itching, scabs or weeping skin, ask your vet to find the cause so the care can be targeted. Test new products on a small area first, because horse skin can sometimes react sensitively to unfamiliar ingredients too, especially on thin-skinned horses.
