I haven't been really following this thread but if my Evel Knivel mind
has leaped this canyon I only have one question, "Who applied the
cure, the apprentice or the Journeyman?"

If it involves human hands my hand-crafted soap works really well by
keeping them soft and moist which makes them quite scratch resistent.

If it is scratches to the hoof we we're talking about and I missed it,
could someone privately bring me up to speed?
