Cezina R and the scrape on her forehead

When Sanne Klarborg went out to the paddock to check on her mare, Cezina R, the mare had been unlucky and sustained a large, nasty abrasion on her forehead – fortunately without any underlying injuries! Cezina R had been away at stud and away from home for three weeks, so perhaps she had a minor disagreement with her field mate upon her return.

Sanne was unsure of how best to treat a wound on her horse's forehead. She asked for advice on Facebook, where we recommended Absorbine's Silver Honey Wound Ointment. Silver Honey is formulated with New Zealand Manuka honey and MicroSilver BG™ – a combination that keeps the skin moisturized and provides a protective barrier. Within just a few days, Cezina was well on the mend. The pictures speak for themselves: just one week after the first application of Silver Honey, only the hair needs to grow back.

Sanne is particularly pleased with Silver Honey because she didn't have to change the mare's turnout routine, nor did she need to wash and reapply the ointment several times a day to keep the wound supple and prevent it from cracking open. The mare was able to stay out 24/7 in the pasture with her field mate, and as instructed, Sanne simply applied the ointment once a day after gently wiping away any residue with a damp cloth.
