Cut on leg - would you ride?

[sjdress]

My horse cut her leg a week ago and it has now scanned over. It's clean, no hear or swelling and she is sound on it. Would you ride with the scab formation or wait for it to completely close up?

I would ride, I would just cover it with udder ointment or similar to try and shield it from the mud!

 

[dibbin]

I would ride, put a barrier on it and make sure it's still clean when you're done

 

[nikicb]

I would ride so long as it was not near a joint and exercise would trigger the wound to open again.

Yes I would ride taking into consideration the thins others have also mentioned, protecting it etc.

ride and put some lint or gamgee over to protect it while you ride

This. My horse has a cut on his fetlock and I was told by my vet not to ride him. A cut elsewhere though I would, even though my mind would be freaking out that he may lose his leg.
