Zymox Equine Horse Defense Enzymatic Spray for Skin Conditions, Wounds & Rain Rot - 8 oz

Stop the cycle of irritation and keep your horse focused on the ride with a professional-grade solution that targets skin issues without the sting. Zymox Equine Horse Defense Enzymatic Spray provides a powerful, competition-safe barrier against rain rot, scratches, and girth itch, ensuring your partner stays comfortable from the stable to the show ring.

Engineered for the high-performance equine, this formula utilizes the patented LP3 Enzyme System—a sophisticated blend of Lactoperoxidase, Lysozyme, and Lactoferrin. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on harsh alcohols or steroids, this water-based spray works with your horse’s biology to eliminate bacteria, fungus, and yeast. Because the enzymes thrive on the skin’s natural debris, there is no need for painful scrubbing or pre-cleaning, making it the most efficient choice for sensitive areas like aural plaques or the barrel where a "no-sting" application is paramount.
