The problem

Horse skin problems drag on — and most treatments make you choose between harsh and hassle.

Wet weather keeps it coming back

Mud, morning dew and humid, overcast days keep skin damp — perfect conditions for rain rot and mud fever.

Harsh products, sensitive skin

Steroid and chemical-heavy sprays can sting and irritate — and some contain substances banned at shows.

Greasy ointments trap dirt

Heavy salves sit on top of the skin, attract debris and keep the area from breathing.

Daily treatment wears you out

Cleaning and reapplying every day, at every barn visit, for weeks — it's a lot for busy owners.

Verdant Equus creams are built to fix all four: gentle botanical actives, a breathable finish, show-safe ingredients — and a 3-day option for when you can't be at the barn every day.

Two creams, two jobs

Treat it fast, or protect it for days

Use Jazzy's Cream to actively heal a problem. Use 3-Day Defense to shield skin when you can't be at the barn every day. Many owners keep both.

“Huge shout out to Verdant Equus on their amazing products. I tried everything on a really bad case of proud flesh on one of my geldings and it seemed like the Jazzy’s Cream was the only thing that really seemed to help. I tried everything over-the-counter and online I could find with little to no improve improvement. I was amazed at how quickly it healed!”
Vania Carr, Full Circle Stables

Why Verdant Equus

Made by a scientist. Started for a family.

When his infant son developed severe eczema, Dr. Youngjun Oh — a Ph.D. cell biologist with 15+ years in biologics and drug development — set out to make a gentler alternative to steroid creams. That plant-based formula became HUNYULE. Verdant Equus brings the same science to horses with sensitive skin.

FAQ

Questions horse owners ask

Which cream should I choose?

Jazzy's Cream to actively heal wounds, itch, hives, rain rot and summer sores (daily). 3-Day Defense to protect lower legs and coat from mud and moisture with one application every 3 days. Many owners treat with Jazzy's, then switch to 3-Day Defense to keep it from coming back.

Is it safe to use before a show?

Yes — every ingredient is free of substances on the FEI Equine Prohibited Substances List, and both creams are 2026 USEF/FEI compliant.

How soon will I see results?

Itch often settles quickly; most owners see visible improvement in the skin within several days. Results vary with the horse and how severe the problem is.

Can I use it on my dog or cat?

Jazzy's Cream works on dogs and cats too — for scrapes and sensitive, itchy skin.

When should I call the vet instead?

Deep or puncture wounds, heat or swelling that spreads, lameness, fever, or anything that isn't improving after a week — call your vet.
