(4 oz. bottle shown here)	Snake Oil My original remedy. I developed this oil for my own horses when I'd tried several commercial products to get rid of scratches and none ever worked very well. My horses live outside, are often dirty, and I don't always see them every day since they are boarded 30 minutes away. I had to come up with something that didn't need a clean, dry, or bandaged leg in order to work. My barn owner started using it for her horses also, but not just for scratches. Rain rot, dew poisoning, and any other nasty crusty was doused. It's worked on all of them. Ingredients - Tea Tree Essential Oil, Comfrey Extract, Mineral Oil Snake Oil, 16 oz. - $10	(4 oz. bottle shown here)	Fly & Tick Repellant Oil A friend asked for an oil that was safe to put on her nursing mare's udders. After that was successful, she wondered if it would work on ticks and worked it into the mane and tail of a mare that was particularly bothered by them. The ticks were gone and didn't come back for several days. Ingredients - Lavender Essential Oil, Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Peppermint Essential Oil, Corn Oil. Fly & Tick Repellant, 16 oz. - $15

(4 oz. bottle shown here)	Tail Rub Oil An acquitance who had used my Snake Oil asked me if I had anything for a mare that was rubbing her tail out. She had ruled out ticks, worms and being in heat, so we gave this a try. Ingredients - Tea Tree Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Calendula Essential Oil, Caster Oil. Tail Rub Oil, 8 oz. - $10	(4 oz. bottle shown here)	Thrush Remedy My farrier is my best seller of my Snake Oil and Fly Repellant, so when he asked me if I had anything for Thrush I started looking into it. This remedy uses two base oils, Walnut & Grapeseed. The Walnut oil does not contain significant amounts of Juglone. Juglone is the ingredient which is considered to bring on laminitis when Black Walnut hulls are used as bedding. Ingredients - Tea Tree Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil, Walnut Oil, Grapeseed Oil. Thrush Remedy, 8 oz. - $10

Photo coming soon.	Sarcoid Remedy This is a systemic herbal remedy and therefore takes time, possibly 6-8 weeks to see results and possibly longer until the sarcoid is gone. This remedy comes in a 6 week dose which is divided into daily portions for convenience. Ingredients - Clivers (also known as Cleavers), Meadowsweet, Garlic, Fenugreek, Burdock Root, Rosehips. *Coming soon!* You'll be able to read about the treatment and see pictures of my gelding's sarcoid, and tips on getting your horse started on the remedy.

As with all herbal products these oils will work for the majority of horses, but not all. Herbs are not a cure-all and may take time to work. As with all new products, test a small amount on your horse first to watch for allergic reactions. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately and wash the area thoroughly with mild soap and water.
