I deal with scratches on a daily basis with
Maggie. Scratches can come from wet or dew conditions, sandy conditions,
whatever. Maggie gets them from it all! Washing with antibacterial
soap, rinsing, drying, and then whatever works (zinc oxide, mix of furazon zinc
oxide and azium, Trail-Rite remedy, athlete foot cream). Most rides will
allow one to use zinc oxide during the ride and that helps. Also someone,
I think Barbara, said that waterproof sunscreen works great too. I manage
to keep Maggie's scratches to a minimum so that 2 or 3 days in row she can be
ridden at rides. Jeanie
