Pasterns often
become crusty
and scabby when
'mud season'
turns paddocks
into soupy messes.
But left untreated,
a simple case of
scratches can
escalate into a
painful, chronic
condition.
Schedule a visit
with your farrier as
soon as you notice
a loose shoe. But
in the meantime,
you’ll want to take
steps to either
keep it in place
or remove it.
The moment your horse begins to show signs of this devastating hoof disease, take quick action to slow its progress and reduce the extent of the damage.
