PERFECT FOR SEASONAL CHANGES π± Equi-Skin can be particularly useful to introduce during:
π± Spring pasture changes
βοΈ Warmer weather
π¦ Increased insect activity
π§οΈ Humid seasonal conditions
π Coat transitions
β¨ Periods of poor coat condition
Donβt wait until the scratching starts.
Healthy skin is your horseβs first line of defence.
π‘οΈ The outer skin barrier helps regulate moisture, protects against environmental exposure and forms part of the horseβs immune defence.
π¦ In horses affected by insect bite hypersensitivity, research has identified changes in genes associated with skin barrier function, keratin formation and immune activity.
When a horse is constantly scratching and rubbing, the cycle can become:
Insect exposure β immune response β itching β rubbing β skin damage β compromised barrier β greater vulnerability
π΄ When a horse is experiencing ongoing skin challenges, we need to look beyond the surface and consider nutrition, the skin barrier, immune response, environmental exposure, gut health and dietary toxin exposure as part of the bigger picture.
A horseβs skin is one of its largest organs and requires a steady supply of quality nutrients to maintain normal structure, hair growth and coat condition. Equi-Skin was created with this whole-horse approach in mind. π§‘
