Itching & anti-crib - comfort, control and effective support
Managing horse itch and cribbing behaviour is an important part of your horse’s daily wellbeing. Conditions such as horse summer itch, caused by biting insects like midges and flies, can lead to intense itching, skin irritation and hair loss around the mane and tail. At the same time, behaviours like cribbing or wind-sucking can affect both your horse’s health and stable environment. With the right products, you can support both skin comfort and behavioural control in a practical and horse-friendly way.
At Emmers Equestrian, you will find a carefully selected range of itching and anti-crib solutions designed to support your horse in different situations. Anti-itch lotions, shampoos and sprays help soothe sensitive skin, reduce allergic reactions and protect against biting insects such as black flies and midges. Supplements with fatty acids can support skin health from within, while protective gear such as fly masks and rugs helps reduce exposure to insects.
For horses showing stable vices such as cribbing, an anti crib collar or anti cribbing collar can help manage the behaviour. These collars are designed to apply gentle pressure when the horse attempts to crib, discouraging the action without restricting normal eating, drinking or movement. In addition, anti-chew sprays can be used on stable surfaces to prevent unwanted behaviour.
Our collection includes trusted equestrian brands such as Cavalor, Leovet and NAF. These brands are known for their effective formulas and reliable solutions, suitable for both prevention and targeted care.
