Mallenders and sallenders are traditional, archaic 15th-century names for a horse skin condition involving thick, scaly scabs on the legs. [1]
The names come from old linguistic roots describing sores and distinct locations on the limbs:
Word Origin and Etymology
    • Mallenders (originally malanders): Comes from the Old French word malandre, derived from the Latin malandria, which historically meant blisters, pustules, or sores (originally on a horse’s neck). Over time in English, the term shifted to describe scabby skin lesions found on a horse’s legs. [1]
    • Sallenders: Appears to have developed as an rhyming or matching companion word variant in veterinary or farrier tradition to designate the exact same scabby eruption when it occurs on a different pair of legs

What is Mallender & Sallenders (M&S)?

M&S are skin conditions in horses, specifically affecting the lower legs.  Characterised by the overproduction of keratin, it leads to thickened, crusty scabs in areas like the back of the knee (sallenders) and the front of the hock (mallenders).  These tend to be found in heavy breeds such as cobs and draft horses with feathered legs. Problems caused can be pain, discomfort, bacterial and fungal infections and even lameness if left untreated.

There is no cure. This cream works to manage the issue and needs to be regularly applied.

Directions for use:

This cream should be applied twice a day for the first three days or longer in severe cases to the affected area only and then reduce its use to once a day for a further seven days. If used on joint areas such as the back of the knee or front of the hock, the cream will produce a flexible, protective shield against dirt and water.

There is no need to pick the scabs off as the cream will soften these naturally then gently brush or comb out of the hair.

Use routinely for maximum effect.
