Well
the winter chill has arrived and it's time to make sure the horses have
their winter rugs on and to make sure we avoid the horrible winter
issues like mud fever which is a plague to a lot of us!
A few quick tips to help avoid mud fever:
Hose off your horses legs every day. Even if they go straight back out
in the mud, this is a really great way to clean the bacteria off the
legs AND to have a good look over the legs to see if any mud fever is
forming. The sooner you catch it the easier it is to treat!
Stable stable stable. Obviously most of us don't have access to stables
but if you do stabling reduces mud fever considerably as they are out
of the mud for at least half of the time each day.
