RE: [RC] Pathophysiology of Scratches - Jim Holland

Really? Are you sure? How do you know it was the silicone?  What "chemical"?
I have used that stuff forever, got it all over me, my horses feet and
everything else. Never HEARD of such a problem caused by silicone.   I've
even used it as "padding" on a horse in some cases to protect a tender area
on the front of the foot.

2.   Chemical Irritants (ex: "soring" in gaited horses)

I've dealt with it twice, ever. BOTH cases were chemical from the
silicone that had been squirted up under the pads getting on the heels. I
wonder how many people had new pads put on right before Tevis? The worst
case was when I tried to wipe it off and smeared it across his pastern.
It was responsible for one of Kaboot's pulls.
