Ok, to take some of the mystery out of Angie's question:
It is MY horses that seem to have the biggest problem. Angie was just being so politically correct in not saying so. She watched during the NC 100, as Cash Pony went from no scratches, to major scratches. With me washing him with iodine scrub at every VC, putting Desitin on him, and then washing him for the two days AFTER the ride, with the scratches only getting worse. His gets so bad, that he was standing in a bucket of warm water yesterday (and today) to loosen up the scrabs to clean him up. It is not just him, but all my horses have gotten them. I have a 4 yr. old that gets them this time of year, and she isn't being ridden. She will have spots that break out up on her fetlock joints. Frankly, I believe it is something in the grass....and unlike Angie...I HAVE grass. So, to all you vendors out there, send me a sample if you think you have something to stop the super scratches from
Hell. I promise you will have a customer for life if it works.
