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.
Sometimes you just wish you’d taken a video, because no one will believe it.
Like when your accident-prone colt flips over in the barn aisle while trying to reach a fly—and gets tangled in everything...
For your horse’s sake, resist the urge to try scratches remedies you haven’t heard of before. Many unconventional preparations don't work; others may do more harm than good.
