Many of us are familiar with that sinking feeling when you discover a rubbed tail resembling something akin to a toilet brush, when only hours previously there was a beautiful, full tail. Unfortunately for many, the rubbing goes way beyond aesthetic, resulting in skin trauma from ‘self harm’ when the urge to itch and rub is incessant.  Sore, broken and open skin is a magnet for flies and dirt and can be a nightmare to manage.

As always in life, prevention is generally better than a ‘cure’! There are various options to manage this, including fly rugs and masks, topical solutions and restricted turnout.

Itchy Switchy S.O.S is an exciting new collection of topical solutions to care for horses and ponies with a tendency to cause themselves harm via the ‘itch/scratch/rub’ cycle.
