Animal Grooming Pads

History

Established in 2007.

Itchin’ Post Animal Grooming Pads were invented by Cherie McKenzie — Owner/​Proprietor of Sundown Horse Farm and Rescue Shelter. Cherie has been caring for horses and other animals most of her life. That’s why she took the classes to become a certified rescue and boarding facility.

«I could almost see the gate bending from a distance as I watched Dakota (the draft horse) scratching his rear end. I was getting tired of Vet bills from the horses scratching on things around the farm and causing damage to themselves and our property,» said Cherie, «I looked everywhere to find something I could cover sharp objects with. I wanted something to give the horses’ relief and protection from using tree branches and the corner of the barn or anything sharp enough to injure them. With the help of a neighbor, Nick Forchette, the perfect solution was created. The Itchin’ Post, a flexible pad with rounded nubs sticking up about an inch that protects and massages animals at the same time.
