With Australia's Summer a little late to arrive this year and a lot of rain lately – mosquitos seem to be every where. The number of enquiries for herbs for horses that have been affected by bites from these rather hostile bugs has increased over the last month or so.
One idea for protecting horse's that are sensitive to insect bites are the summer weight whinny warmers. I love this idea – they are especially useful for owners who want to protect their horse's legs but don't know what tension to use – its all worked out for you.
The thought that has gone into this product ensures most questions are asked. You use the bag they send them to you in to cover the hoof to slip the sock over the hoof without catching. They are not too tight, so don't restrict movement and they should stay up.
I've had contact with the owners a while ago and meant to write up this blog forever ago, mainly because of the care I know they take with their own horses. The whinny warmers for horse with metabolic conditions
I was looking at their website today and for Aussie horseowners they now have an Australian outlet, for International readers they have quite a network of suppliers. http:/whinnywarmers.com
My thoughts are they are worth trying as a non-toxic way to protect your horse's legs this damp bug inviting season.
