Sonny, my prospective endurance horse that I wanted to take
to the Lake Oroville ride in November for his first 50, has developed a case of
scratches from the little rub marks caused by the easyboot
gaiters (I did have a very generous covering of vetrap
under the gaiters). I found this website regarding treatment of scratches and
thought I’d share it. I’m hoping the remedy is as effective as the
author, Heather Smith Thomas, claims it to be so I can continue preparing Sonny
for the ride. If not, we’ll be holding off ‘til springtime for his
first 50.
