Anti-Cribbing Spray, Sun Protection & Co. – a Solution for Every Problem
You probably know a few classics from this category:
- Anti-cribbing spray:The bitter taste reliably prevents your horse from gnawing on wood, blankets, or bandages. Simply apply, and you're done.
- Brush detergent:Grooming tools collect dander, grease, and bacteria. Regular cleaning protects the horse's skin and extends the life of your brushes.
- Sun protection for horses:Grey horses and horses with blazes or pink noses get sunburned faster than you can imagine. A good sunblock on the nose makes all the difference.
- Other everyday helpers:From tail guards to stable spray – each season brings new practical helpers.
Most products are incredibly easy to use: spray on, rub in, or add to water. The exact dosage is always on the bottle – just follow the manufacturer's instructions, and you'll be fine.
What to look for when buying
Not every horse tolerates every product. For sensitive animals, it's worth doing a compatibility test on a small area beforehand. Also, pay attention to the ingredients: natural-based products are particularly pleasant for sensitive skin areas. If your horse is prone to mud fever, eczema, or other skin problems, also take a look at ourSkin Care categoryin parallel.
Speaking of grooming kits: If you're currently revamping your grooming routine, you'll also find the right shampoos, mane sprays, and co. in ourCare Productssection. And for everything related to stalls and stables, it's worth taking a look at ourStable Supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions about Other Care Products
What helps if my horse is gnawing on wood?
Anti-cribbing spray is the quickest solution here. The product tastes bitter and deters most horses from wanting to eat wood, blankets, or bandages. Important: In the long term, you should also investigate the cause – often boredom, insufficient roughage, or mineral deficiency are behind it.
How do I clean my horse brushes properly?
A special brush detergent reliably removes grease, dander, and bacteria. Soak brushes in lukewarm water with cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and let them dry with the bristles facing down. Once a month is usually sufficient.
Do horses really need sun protection?
Light-colored horse noses, pink skin areas, and grey horses with thin coats do indeed get sunburned – just like our skin. A sunblock specifically for horses provides reliable protection and doesn't bother your horse. A real game-changer, especially in summer.
Are other care products also suitable for sensitive horses?
Generally, yes – many brands use skin-friendly formulas. For particularly sensitive horses, it's best to test the product on a small area first and observe the reaction over 24 hours.
