The long and thick coat grown during the winter can be difficult to manage, especially for racing horses. However, we must not forget that the <strong>hair <\/strong>of a horse represents a <strong>natural form of defence<\/strong> not only against the cold, but also against possible external dangers such as <strong>Culicoides<\/strong>, small flies whose bites are responsible for <strong>Recurrent Summer Dermatitis (also known as RDEE)<\/strong>. It is therefore not uncommon that, after the hair is clipped, the horse\u2019s skin becomes more sensitive and prone to things such as <strong>saddle sores or irritation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-2048x1365.webp 2048w, https:\/\/media.lineaunika.it\/unika\/uploads\/2024\/05\/shutterstock_82897126-600x400.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the well-being of the horse\u2019s skin in mind, Unika has formulated <strong>Scudo<\/strong>, a cream to be applied to <strong>wounds, injuries and saddle sores<\/strong>.

It helps the skin to heal as it is able to increase the <strong>production of fibrin<\/strong>, stimulate the formation of new cells and improve the circulation of surrounding blood vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The essential oils of eucalyptus and melaleuca perform a significant <strong>antibacterial and antifungal action<\/strong> on a <strong>broad spectrum<\/strong>. Tea tree oil also <strong>soothes the itching sensation <\/strong>caused by the bites of insects such as mosquitoes and Culicoides.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The oily formula of Scudo, obtained with the addition of sweet almond oil, makes the product <strong>adhere to the hair for longer<\/strong> and protects the wound against dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does your horse suffer from dermatitis or have more sensitive skin in summer?
