>Natural Horse Care

If you show horses, it’s likely you use horse boots. Sports medicine boots, bell boots, splint boots, polo wraps, skid boots, shipping boots, you name it, most equestrians have used it. A lot of horses have no problem with wearing these, simple as putting them on, riding and giving them a quick brush off when you finish. Other horses, however, don’t have it that easy.

Horse owners often find themselves exhausted as they try to keep their horse safe and healthy, wrapping them in proverbial bubble wrap. Is there a way to keep skin problems away?

Scratches in horses are a common skin ailment. It's typically found on the lower legs, beneath fetlocks, or along the cannon bones and pasterns due to muddy, moist, wet, humid, damp or dirty footing.

Now that the longer days are here, horse owners are ready for the warmer days and longer rides, more time out in the fresh air and the seemingly endless summer days. But at this point, those are day dreams, because first we have to get through one terrible season, some call it spring, but we call it mud season. And with it comes mud fever.

When the clock springs forward, horse owners everywhere rejoice. It means more time to spend with our equine companions, more time in the saddle and a sure sign that winter is on the way OUT. On the flip side it also means rain... lots and lots of rain. And with it, rain rot.
