What are Cracked Heels? 

Cracked Heels is not a single disease but can be seen in differing forms. It occurs especially in warm, wet weather and is associated with a number of causes. It is certainly not limited to horses that are paddling knee deep in mud! Cracked Heels can range from a mild skin irritation to very painful infected sores, and can, in some cases, cause significant swelling with severe lameness. The condition affects the lower limb, most commonly the back of the pastern. It starts off as matted hair with dry crusts, caused by the inflamed skin weeping.

Rain scald

When the same condition occurs on the upper body, it is referred to as “rain scald”… see below

This poor donkey, Ebony, was left out in the rain before she was rescued. She was clipped and our cream applied daily so she is now back to full health with a glorious shiny coat.

DIRECTIONS:

NO NEED TO WASH THE LEGS

Apply the cream straight to the affected area. Gently massage in and leave.
