Winter might bring cosy rugs and warm feedsโฆ
โฆbut for your horseโs skin and hooves, it can be the perfect storm ๐ช๏ธ
Constant wet fields, damp bedding, and deep-littered stables create the ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
๐ฆ Mud and moisture soften the skin and hoof tissue, breaking down their natural defences.
๐ฆ Once the barrier is compromised, opportunistic bacteria and fungi thrive โ leading to conditions like mud fever and thrush.
๐ฃ Mud Fever:
Often starts as small scabs or irritation on the legs โ especially the heels and pasterns.
Cold, muddy conditions + friction from wet rugs or boots = damaged skin that bacteria love.
๐พ Thrush:
That black, smelly discharge from the frog? A sign of infection caused by prolonged damp and lack of airflow in the hoof.
But prevention doesnโt have to be complicated ๐
