Equine Conditions

Horses and ponies do come with a few health issues just like human and there are remedies to treat these equine conditions. Some equine conditions are unique to horses and require particular care to manage a successful outcome. We have found the natural approach to be the best in the long run as the horse seems to respond quicker. There are many products which claim to offer a quick fix, equines recover or mend at a similar rate to humans, we are all much more realistic when it come to our own health issues, so give your horse or pony the opportunity to fix themselves in the most appropriate way in a reasonable time scale.

Below are some of the most common requests we receive.

Headshaking

Headshaking is one of the more difficult equine conditions to treat but there are remedies available that work very well. Consider Homeopathic Echinacea and Mixed Pollens as well as a new product called Nostrilvet, which is clinically proven in Sweden and well worth a try.

Horse Sweet Itch

The homeopathic Horse Sweet Itch used with some Echinacea can be very effective used over a period of time. The Echinacea does not just cover up the complaint but soothes and relieves the itching. The amazing Botanica cream from Ireland can bring relief from sweet itch and many other skin complaints. NaturaSkin Marigold flowers are the Calendula family have a read up on them for equine skin complaints.

Warts, Sarcoids and fungus

From our previous experience. Thuja cream is very popular and has been very affective in reducing Horses warts, warcoids and fungus'.

Horses Hooves

Seaweed is probably the most cost effective and complete source of vitamins, minerals and trace elements as Rosehips offer a natural source of biotin NaturaHoof, which is great for healthy strong hooves.

Calming

Chamomile flowers often grow in and around the gateways to fields. Feeding Chamomile is like having a cup of chamomile tea as it calms and relaxes the horse in the same way it would if eaten whilst growing in the field.

Joints and movement

Glucosamine helps lubricate the synovial joint fluid and MSM aids to mend the cells surrounding the joint. These are the two active ingredients that can make the difference. Manganese Absorbate is added to NaturaJoint, NaturaFlex, NaturaForm and NaturaElastic to aid absorption into the digestive system.

Feed balancing condition

NaturaGleam and NaturaGleam Sport is very popular with competitive riders and is as good if not better than many leading brand conditioners and feed balancers at a fraction of the price.

First aid and wound management

Look no further than Botanica creams and washes along with Powerflex bandages to cover any cuts and scrapes
