I’m writing for a friend of mine.She has been dealing with “something”
like scratches on her horse for well over 6 months now.I first saw it last September, but she
thought it was just a reaction from wearing interference boots.The horse has pretty furry legs (even
though arab) so she didn’t really pay more attention at
the time since it wasn’t obvious.
I fought scratches for 8 weeks
following a Fort Schelbourne Multi-day... I tried everything... it's really
frustrating...
What finally worked was to stop trying. I turned Gabby out
in pasture 24x7, and washed his legs with apple cider vinegar and water
(1/4c:1gal dilution) every two or three days to get the pH of his skin back
where it should be after all my "treatments".
I spent a fortune on vets and concoctions, and was at the
barn at least an hour twice a day.
