Global Herbs 'Bumpy Skin' - has anyone used?

[Bounty]

As title really!

It's a new product and I was wondering whether any of you lot had had results with it before I order some...

I used to use Pegasus Herbs Skin Mix on my formerly scabby mud-fever infested chestnut - worked a treat, if that helps!

I am using global herbs on my 2 horses
One is on pollenex and so calm and one is on skratch sweet.
I can't make up my mind if they work or if I try to think they work . The first horse is my coloured eventer and he suffers with head shaking and nerves and breathing but I still have to use ventipulman sometimes to clear his breathing [ I have tried global herbs for breathing but didn't notice a difference]
He is a bit quieter at the moment but not sure if it is the hard work or calmer!Tried equine america 'shake guard but did not notice any improvement
The other has sweetitch and wears a snuggyhood rug which is great but when I take it off to tack up he tries to rub straight away , not sure if he would do it more without herbs. I try anything but I don't think I will reorder that product

I use their Skratch product - this with the rest of my routine has (so far) stopped completely Chancer rubbing. Now put Cairo on it as he is an itchy old chap.

Only downside - goes in smelling like stockholm tar and a few days later - yucky yucky - horse smells of a mixture of cat and fox pee. Worth the pong though and a quick spray of my fly spray which uses lots of essential oils sweetens them up agan.

Thanks all, I spoke to the Global Herbs people and they said they are having great success with it, but they would say that wouldn't they!

Kit - I will look into your recommendation now, thank you!

Carthorse - My OH had a mare with a fairly severe dust allergy and he absolutely swore by NAF Respirator... may be worth a go? For nerves I rate Feedmark's Steady Up every time, so bear that in mind if you do find he turns into a fruitloop again

Theresa - I made your recipe up, and am really pleased with it! BIG thank you from all of my midge free neddies!

Glad you like the fly spray - are you using the new improved version with bog myrtle? Worth if if you have SI/lots of midges, if not, save the money.

I have also found feeding a fair amount of brewers yeast and linseed also helps with the itching.

Combination of rambo protector, fly spray, BY, linseed and the Skratch finally have stopped him rubbing top of his tail and he now very rarely humps the ground - no sore belly so far, and when he does do it, we wonder if he only does it now as he likes rubbing his todger.

My friend used a Global Herbs product when her horse got lymphangitis with fantastic results and another used a veteran product on her old mare with great success so I'd definitely give it a go. Good luck!
