Ridecamp: [RC] Scabs & Sores

I have a 4 year old Molly mule who every year gets scabbing and sores all
around her lower front legs and on her shoulders.  I have never been able
to figure out what is doing it other than a guess that it might have
something to do with grazing and some kind of grass allergy.  I thought for
a long time it was from flys because it clears up over the winter.  Then I
read on ridecamp that some horses are allergic to an oil in fly spray so
this year I avoided all spray but it didn't work.  I have five other mules
and horse who don't experience this problem.  I would appreciate your
thoughts on this.  She is beautiful in every respect but her legs get
disgusting-looking and I know they must not feel great.  Maybe you have had
a similar experience and figured out what to do.  I can't seem to conquer
this.  Thanks.  Bob
