I always dread the sweet itch season, and have used a variety of products, all which have definitely helped. But this Think Itch for Horses is in a league of it's own. My Shetland pony is benefitting from it so much. He doesn't seem to be bothered by the biting midges and he is scratching a lot less. I think that this is a high quality product with good ingredients. I am so glad to have found a natural supplement to help him. It is not super palatable, but you can absolutely get by with mixing it with some chaff or other food. Now I have found Think Itch I will use it year round, I really am so impressed with it. Thank you so much Brinicombe Equine for formulating this excellent product

Gave this supplement to my horses due to Irritation from fly bites. The bites reduced in size really quickly and the horses skin irritation settled down by the second or third day of having it. I’ve given it every day and have seen no further issues. I will definitely buy this again.

Appears to be working but to early to tell if it's 100% effective
Customer recommends this product
My horse totally refused to eat his feed once I had put the supplement in. I gave it to another horse owner though and it seems to work for her horse.

I wouldn't try anything for my pony without knowing what is in it so please could we have some transparency. Thank you,

Would this product be useful in the treatment of feather mite? Thanks
No I am afraid that it will not help very much at all. It is designed to reduce the feeling of itching and could therefore reduce symptoms, but it will not get rid of any mites. The best treatment is to clip the feathers very short, then apply something which is active against the mites and also helps to condition the skin. Selenium sulphide shampoo ("Seleen") is a good product to try. Ideally discuss this with your vet. It is best to wash the entire horse, not just the feathered areas, as a few mites will live elsewhere on the body and re-infest the treated parts otherwise.

My highland scratches herself on any available immovable object and yet doesn't have sweet itch, scurfy skin, visible irritation, lice or mites. She isn't over rugged or stabled. She can go into the shelter (nedzbedz pro) as and when she wants. I fed ThinkItch throughout the warm autumn as there were flies and midges around and this did reduce the scratching. Has she become obsessed and has developed a habit or do you have any other thoughts? I was planning to re start with ThinkItch in the spring and was considering garlic too. Can you help any further?
I think something will genuinely be making her feel itchy, I very much
doubt that it would just be a daft habit. There can be many possible
causes of itching, but by far the most common would be the sort of
things you have mentioned. How sure can you be that none apply? A tiny
number of mites can make a horse very itchy and some horses show very
little sign of mites, other than being itchy. My feeling is that you are
probably missing something and it would be best to treat her for mange
if you cannot find anything else. (Dermapet lime sulphur wash is effective, used weekly for 4 weeks, though it is quite smelly!)
Otherwise an examination from a good equine vet might be your best bet.
Herbal treatments do seem to reduce the symptoms but they will not cure a
genuine parasite problem.
