HOLSTIC CARE CONCEPT
Summer eczema is more than just a skin reaction - it is a complex challenge that requires a holistic approach. With our Hestakofi Holistic Care Concept, we offer a comprehensive system that effectively protects, cares for and sustainably supports horses. Our concept is based on three pillars: defense, care and prevention . It is the 1x1 of summer eczema care for well-thought-out care.

DEFENSE - PROTECTION FROM THE TRIGGERS
Black flies (Culicoides) are the main cause of summer eczema. Effective protection reduces itching and prevents skin irritation.
Eczema blanket : A high-quality eczema blanket is the first line of defense. It protects against insect bites and prevents mechanical skin irritation caused by scratching and chafing.
Repellent : Like mosquito repellent spray , it reliably protects against blood-sucking insects such as black flies, mosquitoes, ticks and flies. The skin-friendly formula contains no alcohol, smells pleasant and nourishes stressed horse skin with aloe vera and broccoli seed oil. Ideal for supporting the care of summer eczema.
Husbandry and stable hygiene : Standing water, damp pastures and dirty stable areas attract insects. The problem can be reduced through targeted management.

CARE - FOR STRESSED SKIN
Proper care is essential to relieve itching, regenerate damaged skin and keep the coat healthy.
Itch-relieving care: Special lotions with soothing ingredients and plant extracts, such as the Hestakofi Care Lotion with CBD oil , support care during acute episodes. The Hestakofi Summer Care Lotion with probiotic bacteria also supports the natural skin microbiome and strengthens the skin barrier.
Moisturizing care: Dry, flaky skin is intensively cared for with moisturizing ingredients such as the Hestakofi Hydration Complex and remains elastic. See our products: Anti-Scratch , Flake Away , and Eye Cream .
Gentle cleansing: Mildly formulated shampoos and sprays remove dandruff, soothe irritated skin, and support the skin's natural protective barrier. Hestakofi shampoo with probiotic bacteria contributes to this. This helps to support the skin's microbial balance and ensures gentle cleansing.

STRENGTHENING PREVENTION FROM WITHIN
Long-term support begins with the horse's inner balance. Optimized feeding and a stable immune system can have a positive influence on summer eczema.
- Pasture management : Avoid over-fertilized meadows, as excessively sugary grass promotes inflammatory processes. Studies recommend that hardy horse breeds graze for a maximum of 3 hours on pastures with structurally rich, knee-high grass to limit the intake of proteins/fructans (sugars) associated with summer eczema.
- Mineral feed : Targeted nutrient supply supports skin and immune system.
- Sugar reduction: Horses with summer eczema benefit from a diet that avoids sugar and starch-containing feeds in order to minimize inflammatory processes.
- Stress management : Stress exacerbates immunological reactions. A calm environment and sufficient activity are therefore important.
- Strengthen the immune system : Natural feed additives with immune-supporting plant extracts promote the body's own defenses.
- Fatty acids : Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from high-quality oils such as flaxseed or hemp oil support skin health and reduce inflammatory reactions.
- Zinc and vitamins E, B, and C are essential for skin function and should be supplied in sufficient quantities.
TIP: Our Hestakofi Immunboost is precisely tailored to the needs of allergy-stressed horse skin and supports it from within.
