Photosynthesis

For 2 rat study years ago what fixed it was keeping the horses off any kind 
of clover pasture and out of the bright sun during the day.  The horse we 
had for years only got the "fungus" scabs on feet, face, even other skin 
that was not white but light, (he was a light toned palomino) when we lived 
for several years on a place with lots of clover in the grass.  Kept him in 
the barn daytimes, no scabs.  with different grass he never had a problem.
The other one came to us from a clover area, she had heavy scars on white 
socks and white blaze.  Never flared up on dry land pasture and hay, scars 
got smalller over the years, just some rough spots on legs.

FWIW
