RE: [RC] Pathophysiology of Scratches - Jim HollandReally? 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. Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic Richard T.

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.
