Paardenkriebels herbal blend for mild to moderate itching. This herbal blend 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 formulated a complete herbal blend for horses that need intensive support from within.

Herbal supplements do not have an immediate effect. A horse usually needs a few weeks to get used to a herbal mixture.
This herbal mix should never be given for more than six weeks at a time. It is advisable to take a break of four to six weeks after the course of treatment, or to switch to individual herbs. By alternating between different herbs, you encourage your horse’s natural eating behaviour.
The Paardenkriebels mix has been developed as a natural care range for horses with sensitive skin. With the Paardenkriebels mix, you can give your horse the care it deserves – simple, natural and effective.
This Paardenkriebels herbal blend for mild to moderate jitters helps to ensure proper care of sensitive skin.

Why herbs?
In the wild, horses seek out certain plants themselves. In our stables, they do not have that choice, which is why herbs are a valuable supplement. They gently support the body, promote balance and help the system to find calm. That is why many horses respond well to botanical herbs during periods of skin sensitivity or stress.
Quality of the herbs
The herbs from Paardenkriebels.nl are botanical, pure and sourced from reputable suppliers. We make a conscious choice to prioritise quality, because only herbs with a high content of active ingredients can really make a difference.
Using herbs for horses – safe or not?
Horses often respond well to herbal remedies. They can help restore the body’s balance. Never exceed the recommended dosage and build up the dose gradually. When using herbal remedies, improvement is usually gradual, particularly when a problem has been present for some time.
Natural ≠ always harmless. Some herbs can be harmful if used incorrectly. Combining herbs with conventional medicines can affect their efficacy or lead to complications (such as severe colic). You should therefore always consult your vet before using them if your pet is on medication, is pregnant or is ill.
Be aware of possible allergic reactions. In rare cases, small welts may appear all over the body. If this happens, stop using stinging nettle; the welts usually disappear on their own within approximately 24 hours.
