TurmerItch Brings Relief to an Itchy Pony
Linda has owned Peggy, her 16-year-old Irish Cob, for three years and has been battling her itchy skin condition each year from April through to September which Linda knows Peggy has suffered since she was a two-year-old and it has at times been so severe that she has rubbed herself raw leaving behind nasty lesions with pus. Peggy itches and loses hair from her mane, tail, belly, chest and shoulders.
Peggy’s skin dysfunction also has an effect on her respiratory system and the vet injects her twice a year with a steroid to help alleviate her wheezing. During the months which are the most problematic, Linda also adds antihistamine tablets to Peggy’s daily feed.
Linda has tried various products over the years for Peggy and stuck to using a homemade cream (coconut oil and sulphur) as this seems to offer the most relief from the awful itching. Peggy always wears a sweet itch rug to help from April to September too.
In 2021, Linda heard about The Golden Paste Company looking for horses to trial a new supplement for horses with skin conditions. Linda signed up to the trial and started feeding Peggy one scoop twice a day of the TurmerItch supplement.
Within a few weeks it was clear to Linda that the supplement was making a big difference to Peggy as the difference in her coat and skin was amazing.
Said Linda: “TurmerItch is brilliant and so easy to feed. Peggy loves the taste so I can feed the pellets alone or add to her feed. It has made such a difference to her quality of life and she can now even be ridden over the summer whereas previously this just wasn’t possible.
“The combination of TurmerItch and her sweet itch rug is really working well and I’m so pleased she can enjoy summer more with her 40-year-old beloved Shetland companion.
“I would definitely recommend TurmerItch to anyone with a horse or pony that suffers with scurvy or itchy skin. The ingredients really seem to help calm the skin and maintain the quality of the coat.”
