Best way to cover up scars...

[CobGal]

I have a Bay TB mare (ex racehorse) I am hoping to do a few ridden classes with her this summer....... She is beautiful, with lovely clean legs, all bar a couple of scars down each cannon bone, from very old pressure sores from bandaging.

Can anyone suggest a way of covering these up?

It is just white hair - Almost in need of hair dye!

I actually use hair dye on my girls black legs where mud rash left her permanently white on parts, obviously you have to test it on a small area first.
But for a short time effect there are some products from a company called 'Supreme Products' that do kind of horse make up

I wondered if I could get away with a wash in/wash out dye but felt like I was being a bad Mum in using it!!

I thought of trying 'Bodyshops' Hemp hair dye - All natural and no nasty chems in there!!

It seems quite a few people on here use mascara on show days. Can't say I've tried it myself but I can see the logic

shoe polish! works a treat.

Black leather dye - we use 'Ravens Oil' which may be a New Zealand brand. Used on Black legs to just darken them enough to emphasise the black especially knees and hocks. You put on a small amount with a sponge then blend.
It really covers scars well - it also will wash off with warm water and soap.
these two have had Ravens oil used above socks, on knees and hocks.

You can use boot polish or try mascara, ive never personally used mascara but told it is very good, i just usually use boot polish
