These herbal skin preparations are invaluable in all manner of
conditions. The condition of the skin and coat reflects the way the
body is working within so make sure your horse’s digestive system
and liver are also functioning normally and consider the regular use
of products such as Restore. HOOF CONDITION - see Joints section.

Sarc-ex
For lumps and bumps in horses
1kg, 1.2kg & 5kg tubs
Sarc-Ex provides a unique approach to those horses with skin concerns. No-one is really sure what causes such
problems but they are certainly related closely to insect bites and inherent weakness
in the body’s natural defences. Our new formulation is specifically designed to help
support the immune system in a complete and natural way. A large proportion of the
body’s defences are located in the bowels so the first aim is to support the digestive
process and make sure bowel lining is as resilient as possible. The next task is to
provide a nutritional base which allows the body to effectively fight abnormalities and
microorganisms at the cellular level. An ‘Echinacea free’ product.
This product is also a good calming formula and antioxidant so helps your horse feel
more relaxed which again helps the immune system. You will find when feeding this
formula that wounds, cuts and abrasions will often resolve more quickly.
For particularly stubborn lumps also consider using Restore liquid at the same time
as Sarc-Ex.
DIRECTIONS:
Powder is mixed in with the feed at a rate of 7.5g per 100kg twice daily. This should
be continued daily for 3-12 months or more depending on the individual situation of
the horse concerned. Normally a 6 months supply is sufficient.
In order to adequately judge the effect of Sarc-Ex on your horse you will more than
likely need to use three 1kg tubs or one 5kg tub on an average horse.
WE ALSO USE A SPECIAL FORMULA SARC-50 WHICH IS ONLY AVAILABLE
THROUGH VETERINARY SURGEONS
Top
Sarc-ex Cream
To use with Sarc-Ex
200g pots.
A gentle cream to assist the work of Sarc-Ex. If flies are a
problem it is best to use Deflect fly cream or Yellow Ointment.
DIRECTIONS: Apply two three
times daily.
Top
Bumpy Skin
For unsightly bumps and uneven skin
1kg and 5kg tubs of powder
We find that skin bumps are
increasingly common around the UK. They can occur in great
number under the saddle, over the back and legs and in many
other areas. The reason for their occurrence is often not
understood at all and a nutritional approach with the advice
of your vet is often important. Unusual reactions to certain
foods or even different pasture conditions may be important.
BumpySkin provides you with the most useful approach we have
found over the years. It is normally best if you phone us
for advice on the suitability of this blend and always make
sure your local vet has given his or her full advice.
DIRECTIONS: Two blue 25ml
scoops twice daily for an average horse.
Top
LymphBlend
For puffy legs
1kg and 5kg tubs..
Any
horse can get puffy legs from time to time because of
changes in the way that fluid under the skin circulates.
LymphBlend is designed to provide nutrition to assist the
normal process in which this fluid moves around the body,
especially around the legs.
If you
are getting a lot of fluid accumulating after a wound, then
you will need the quick input of your local vet straight
away. However for general support in healthy horses and to
assist the work of your local vet, with his or her
permission, this formula can be very useful.
. DIRECTIONS: Two blue 25ml
scoops twice daily for an average horse.

ItchCream
For all itches in horses
200g pots
Itch Cream is a quick acting cream for spots of itching skin on your horse. Use on specific fly
bites or on large areas that are causing a problem. This cream works quickly and will help calm
situations down in an instant. In summer use at the base of the tail root or on the mane. It is
designed for use with Skratch feed supplement if there are more general concerns and contains
similar herbs to Skratch. You can quickly test how it works by using on any specific itchy areas
you may have yourself. As with all creams and ointments test this formula on a small area first
before applying more liberally. You do not need very much of this cream to get a good result.
DIRECTIONS:
Use sparingly and test on small areas first. Best used twice daily. In very demanding
situations use more frequently as advised by our staff.
Top
Yellow Ointment
For lumps and bumps in horses
200g pot.
A stronger skin product for use in itching, minor wounds
and fly worry
DIRECTIONS: Use sparingly
and tst on small area of skin at first.

Minerals & Oils
Extra help with for skin
It is
often useful in itchy horses to add in extra minerals in the
form of GlobalViteXtra. When skin gets itchy the body often
needs more zinc, copper and other nutrients which it is not
possible to get from normal feeding or normal mineral
supplements. The chelated minerals in the above product are
essential. Good quality omega oils such as those found in
FlaxOil (P82) or in SkinRite (P39) can also make a huge
difference.
Top
Skratch
For all itching and great skin condition
Powder in tubs and Syrup in bottles
Skratch is perhaps the most effective supplement to help with tail, mane and skin. It soothes itching in the spring and summer
season like no other formula. Helps control fies and midges and really gets to the heart of your concerns. An essential mix to use whenever
your horse’s skin is a worry to you. Ask for further advice and read our leaflet
– herbs for skin condition. Surprisingly Skratch is also very useful for tight chests that occur in dusty
environments (combine with Zephyr).
There are four forms of Skratch
1. SuperSkratch formula. A new improved all year solution 1kg
2. Skratch Plus (severe itch formula) 500g
3. Skratch Classic (for normal everyday use) 500g
4. Skratch syrup (if your horse is a very fussy eater) 1L & 5L
Also consider using ITCH CREAM for soothing local patches of itching skin.
Be aware that in a very few horses garlic can make itching worse.
Do not use with FlyFree.
DIRECTIONS:
Introduce very gradually over a few days as the powders are strong formulas. Reviewthe situation after 4 weeks and if necessary continue throughout the season adjusting
according to conditions.
MAIN CONTENTS:
Berberis aristata, Curcuma longa, Cedrus deodara, Pinus griffithi,
Piper longum, Piper nigrum, Zingiber officinalis, Psoralea
corylifolia.

Deflect
Fly Cream
The 48 hour cream
550g pots
Deflect is a good general purpose fly cream. It is designed to
last for 2 days on your horse so that you do not have to apply it
too regularly. If it rains you will have to use more frequently.
Deflect can be used safely along with any of our other products
DIRECTIONS:
Apply evenly and sparingly to the areas which need the most help,
testing on a small area first if it is the first time you have
used the product.
Top

special blend in a handy pocket sized bottle which quickly
soothes bites from horse flies, midges and other insects.

day on a small area. Then apply once or more daily.
Top
Shine
'The Shampoo'
For wet muddy winter conditions
250ml, 500ml and 1L bottles
If you have found the formula Skratch and FlyFree effective why
not try a shampoo that uses the same herbs. The Cedar in Shine
gives a great finish to your horse’s coat and also helps with lice
and flies. No strong odour either which means it is ideal for
showing and presentation.
DIRECTIONS:
Use sparingly on wet mane or tail and coat. Work into a lather and
leave for 5 minutes if possible before rinsing.

FlyFree
Feed Supplement. Powerful nutrients that flies hate
1kg and 5kg tubs
FlyFree is perhaps the only available effective feed supplement
for flies. The plant extracts in flyfree are digested and pass
through the skin to create a protective shield around your horse
that lasts all day. Gone are the days when you have to use sprays
and other devices and toxic products that horses hate. Not only
does this supplement deal with flies but it also helps with
general skin condition, helps keep breathing clear and soothes
membranes in the nose eyes and mouth. Even though the taste of
FlyFree is quite strong horses usually eat it quite readily and
flies really hate the after effects.
FlyFree is available in 1kg or 5kg sizes as you may want to get
several horses on your yard using the product. Obviously once a
few start using it the flies will head towards those horses that
are left that smell a bit more attractive.
In some very difficult situations you may also want to use our
Deflect Cream or KFO spray which are kind and gentle products.
ItchCream can be used for horse fly bites if they do occur and for
midge worry in difficult individuals.
It is unlikely that you will need any Skratch if you are using
FlyFree.
DIRECTIONS:
For an average horse use 2 level blue 25ml scoops twice daily.
This amount can be increased or decreased within reason - phone
for advice first.
Top
KFO
Spray
The effective and
sophisticated alternative
500ml bottles with spray adaptor
If you want to ‘keep flies off’ with a spray this must be your
choice. A complex formula of essential oils provides a completely
natural approach to your fly problems. Can easily be used with
FlyFree supplement or Deflect if required.
DIRECTIONS:
Spray approximately 15cm from the area affected until slightly
damp. Use as often as required.
Top
WoundCream
For minor cuts and abrasions in horses
200g pots
Wound Cream gives you a quick and easy means of helping your horse
with minor skin damage. Always remember if you think the damage looks like more
than just a scrape to call your vet to check. Always remember to clean damaged skin first before applying creams. Use clean
water and clean hands and fresh cotton wool. If you are worried about the wound
and have sought veterinary help you can also use our formula
ImmuPlus to provide
nutritional help. ImmuPlus does not interfere with veterinary help but helps the work
of stitching and general support and bandaging.
DIRECTIONS:
Clean skin thoroughly and apply a thin film of cream. Test on a small area of skin first
if you have not used the cream before. If using underneath bandages wait for an hour
after application before wrapping.
