Suzie’s Skincare Journey: Finding a Simple Daily Routine That Worked
Suzie is a 12-year-old Cob from Devon who has a history of seasonal skin challenges, especially during the warmer months when biting insects really bother her. Her owner, Lucy, noticed that Suzie could become particularly bothered around her mane and tail during this time, with frequent rubbing that had affected the condition and appearance of her coat and hair.
Discovering Biteback Sweet Relief
Lucy decided to try Sweet Relief after a friend recommended the products to her. The Sweet Relief range has been developed specifically for horses and is designed to support an everyday skincare routine. The formulas help to moisturise and condition the skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple, while providing a protective layer on the skin.
She initially used Sweet Relief Cream and Sweet Relief Silver Cream twice a day, applying them to Suzie’s mane and tail. As part of her ongoing routine, Lucy now applies the products once a day from early March through to November.
A Difference After 5 Days
Lucy began to notice a change in Suzie's behaviour and skin condition after around 5 days of using Sweet Relief.
“I noticed Suzie was rubbing less, her skin looked more moisturised, and her mane and tail started to grow back"
Simple Daily Management Is The Key
Rather than viewing skincare as something that only needs attention when there is a problem, Lucy has made it part of Suzie’s everyday care.
A simple daily routine means regularly checking Suzie’s skin and coat, keeping the areas clean and making product application easy to maintain.
“Suzie is so much happier with her daily routine, and it’s been amazing to see her turned out without her rug.”
Lucy has continued using Sweet Relief as part of Suzie’s regular skincare routine and is delighted with the condition of her mane and tail.
When asked to describe her experience with Sweet Relief in one sentence, Lucy said:
“Life-changing for me and Suzie.”
