Below are curated answers to the questions horse owners ask most.



What is EquineCare Probiotic Spray and how does it work?

EquineCare Probiotic is a 100% natural topical probiotic spray designed to support your horse’s skin health. It works by repopulating the skin with beneficial microbes that naturally crowd out harmful bacteria and fungi—supporting the skin’s natural defences without harsh chemicals. Made here in NZ.

Can I use EquineCare Gut Prebiotic and Probiotic to support horses prone to ulcers?

While we can’t make health claims, some customers choose to use EquineCare Gut Prebiotic and Probiotic as part of their approach to supporting gastric comfort. It contains no added sugars or fillers and is suitable for horses on ulcer-sensitive diets. As always, consult your vet if your horse is showing signs of gastric discomfort.

How do I feed EquineCare Gut Prebiotic and Probiotic?

Simply pour the recommended amount over your horse’s feed once daily. The liquid formula is palatable and easy to mix. It’s suitable for horses of all ages, including foals and seniors. Dosage information is provided on the bottle.

How do I treat mud fever in horses naturally?

Mud fever (also called pastern dermatitis) often appears as scabs, redness, and hair loss on the lower legs. EquineCare Probiotic Spray helps by outcompeting harmful bacteria and supporting healthy skin recovery—without the need for scab picking or harsh chemicals. Spray daily until the skin improves.

What is rain scald and how do I treat it in horses?

Rain scald (also known as rain rot) is a bacterial skin condition caused by prolonged wetness. It often appears as matted clumps of hair, scabs, or bare patches, especially over the back and rump. To treat rain scald naturally, spray the affected area once or twice daily with EquineCare Probiotic. The beneficial microbes help restore skin balance and reduce irritation.

How can I prevent rain scald in horses?

To help prevent rain scald, keep your horse as dry as possible in wet conditions and apply EquineCare Probiotic Spray once or twice weekly or after rain. Regular use supports the skin’s microbiome, helping to protect against bacterial overgrowth in damp environments.

Can EquineCare Probiotic help with thrush or seedy toe in horses?

Yes. EquineCare Probiotic Spray can be used on hooves to treat thrush and early stage seedy toe. Spray directly into the frog and along the white line 1–2 times a day. The spray helps outcompete pathogens that thrive in moist, anaerobic conditions.

How do I use EquineCare Probiotic Spray on my horse?

Spray directly onto the affected area once or twice daily. There’s no need to rinse or wipe off. For preventative use, apply 1–2 times a week, especially in wet or muddy conditions.

Love this product and how it's all natural. It's worked wonders on rain scald and mud fever on my horse. I love that I can spray it on and leave it. No washing out or leaving medicated shampoo on for recommended wait time which is harder to do in the colder months. Mud fever cleared up within a week and the rain scald started get better within a week also. Highly recommended.
