This care pack for severe itching has been carefully formulated for horses that suffer from persistent itching, rubbing or sensitive skin all year round. Whether the itching is caused by summer conditions, insects, damp, dirt, perspiration or dry winter skin—this pack supports the horse from within and cares for the skin naturally, helping it to remain in balance.
Restlessness can occur in any breed, but horses such as Tinkers, Friesians, Haflingers, draught horses, Fjords and Icelandic horses are often particularly prone to it. Scratching, biting, stamping and rubbing are not only seen on the tail and mane, but also on other parts of the body such as the legs, belly, neck, head or around the hooves. This can cause sore spots and a great deal of discomfort for the horse. With the right support, you can help the skin to remain stronger, calmer and better hydrated.
Paardenkriebels has therefore carefully put together a complete care package for horses that need intensive skin care and support from within. By combining products, you enhance their effectiveness and tackle itchiness and a broader, more targeted approach to skincare — both inside and out.
Benefits of this care package:
- Helps relieve itching in various parts of the body
- Supports the skin following irritation caused by, for example, insects, dirt or damp
- Supports the skin's repair capacity
- Helps maintain healthy liver, bowel and kidney function
- Suitable for use in all seasons, with added benefits during the summer months
This set has been developed based on practical experience with horses that have sensitive skin. Many users also apply the set to horses that are sensitive to lice or fungal infections.

Why do horses need herbs?
Horses are naturally used to travelling kilometres sometimes for one specific herb. We, unfortunately, often cannot offer those herbs all in one place and not every herb grows on every type of soil. Unfortunately, it is not feasible for many people to adequately support their horses in this need, simply because there is not enough space/pasture. In order to give our horses the best possible base and meet their basic needs for vitamins, minerals and trace elements as much as possible.
It is important to give herb to the horse and see what you can do as an owner to bring the ration back to natural nutrition as closely as possible.
