What ointment for sarcoids in horses?
Sarcoids are so frustrating, but I have had great results with all the ones I have had on my horses.

I walked into our three-sided shed one day, and there was blood everywhere.  I was shocked.  All three mares were standing their, quietly munching their hay and it looked like one of them had lost a leg.  I searched and searched, running my hands all over them and nothing.  Fresh blood and it just appeared out of thin air.

I sat down in complete frustration, not knowing if my horse was going to die or even which one.  As soon as I sat down, I could see the Sarcoid, between my mares thigh and her udder, up as far as it could be.  It was about the size of a golf ball and I could see where it must have burst and then clotted over.  This would not be the last of the blood, or the sarcoids, but I knew I had to do something until I could get the vet there.

I called my vet friend that uses Young Living Products since I knew I had a bunch of stuff on hand and might be able to help my poor horse.  Here is the protocol she recommended twice a day until the vet could get here:

First, clean really well with Thieves Cleaner - 3 capful strength in 16 ounces of water.
Dry really well.
Gently rub in this blend:  (it lasted me about 5 days, twice a day)
Copaiba - 20 drops
Purification - 20 drops
Thieves - 10 drops
Longevity - 10 drops
 Tea tree - 20 drops

Cover with Animal Scents ointment (I mix with a tiny bit of coconut oil to get good consistency to apply).


It took a few weeks but the sarcoid disappeared before the vet came.  She had a few more pop up and he was able to see one and confirmed it was a sarcoid and was surprised that the big one had gone away.

Usually, sarcoids go away on their own but not always and it is important to have a vet look as soon as possible.  The above supports the healing along with what the vet needs to do.

Hey there! I’m Elise Hittinger—Fear Slayer, Confidence Creator, and your go-to Courage Coach.

 
Once upon a time, I was that fearless kid riding deep into Angeles National Forest without a second thought. Then bam—life threw me a plot twist. A horse flipped on me, pinning me beneath it, and fear crept in like an uninvited guest who wouldn’t leave.

That moment tested everything. But here’s the wild part—I walked away with only bruises and a divine reminder that I wasn’t done yet. Fear may have stolen my joy for a while, but it did not get the final say.

Fast forward to a move to Kentucky, where the trails were calling my name. I had two choices: let fear keep the reins or take them back. Spoiler alert—I took them back. Now, I help other riders (and, honestly, anyone sick of fear running their life) do the same.

I make fear pack its little bags and GTFO. Whether it’s through hypnotherapy, NLP, or a little well-placed humor, I help people trade anxiety for confidence, doubt for courage, and overthinking for action.

So, if you’re ready to kick fear to the curb and rediscover the joy you deserve—I’m here for it. Let’s do this.
