What is Rain Rot & How To Treat it Naturally
What is Rain Rot in Horses?
Rain rot comes from the bacterium, Dermatophilus congolensis. This bacterium is in a family called actinomycetes, these little things act like both bacteria and fungi. Horses naturally have these organisms on their skin; they lay dormant until rainy, wet conditions cause it to flare-up. What if there was a way to keep this bacterium from flaring up and thriving when rainy season rolls around?

How does COAT DEFENSE® daily PREVENTATIVE POWDER work?
COAT DEFENSE® daily PREVENTATIVE POWDER starves the bacterium of its food source. Remember, it needs moisture to thrive.
COAT DEFENSE® daily PREVENTATIVE POWDER gets to work drying up this moisture, and the colonies die off. Because there are no harsh chemicals, this leaves only healthy cells behind.
With the bacterium gone, and by using the COAT DEFENSE® daily PREVENTATIVE POWDER to keep them away, your horse’s skin can safely heal.
Is COAT DEFENSE® daily PREVENTATIVE POWDER Only for Rain rot?
Nope. COAT DEFENSE® daily PREVENTATIVE POWDER can help almost every equine skin ailment. It works by creating a healing environment where your horse’s immune system can do what it does best. Fight and Heal.
I absolutely love this product. I use it in between baths, after riding to absorb sweat, to treat and prevent sweet itch on my sensitive horses, in the winter as a bathing alternative, and as a daily preventative and to treat / prevent scratches on my feathered horses. You can use this product for both dogs and horses with ease. The light mint scent is pleasant. It is a staple in my training program and my Great Danes love it too! I do not go anywhere without it, and I always have my tack room stocked!
