cut in an awkward place - any suggestions?

[Amyking89]

my mare managed to get her foot stuck on the bottom line of our electric fencing (rope style - and i have since removed it to avoid more self harming! we've never needed to electrify it but she seems to think the grass is definitely greener on the other side) and panicked, pulled back and snapped it, in the process she got almost like rope burn, and cut through. It wasn't very deep, and my vet came out and gave her some anti biotics and a really good clean.
The only problem is where it is is right on the back just above her hoof, shes lame on trot up, and its only on this leg. It is still a bit hot and theres a higher pulse in that leg. I understand this seems to be (from my vets look also), where she keeps pulling the scab apart as its forming and its sore for her.
Is there anything else I can do? my vet seems confident that as it heels up properly itll stop making her sore/lame, but i just wondered if anyone knows any tricks or tips to stop it from pulling open constantly?
shes fine in the walk but not in the trot (although she starts off sound the first few strides and then starts to nod, which is where she pulls it completely open), and he cant find any signs of serious damage (such as to her joints, tendons, etc) as it was fairly deep but mostly superficial.

Just so annoying after everything in the past couple of months! (lameness due to shoeing and going barefoot, boot dilemmas!) - horses eh?!

Is it like an over-reach injury or higher up?

It is a tricky area, I would be keeping it as moist as possible - maybe putting my chosen topical treatment on some gauze and vet wrapping it on.

If you don't want to cover it then just keep applying ointment/cream/honey etc as many times a day as you can.

Unfortunately no point riding until its looking securely healed over, so frustrating.

As above it will take time to heal and may benefit from a couple of days strict box rest with in hand walks so she is not moving so much that it opens, if she only opens it up when trotting limiting her movement until it has healed a bit may speed things up overall.
