Drying feathers

[ElleSkywalker]

How? After 20+ years of trimmed and pulled horses I now have a feathery beast how I've been showing a bit but am struggling to dry her legs. I have some thermalux leg wraps but they only reach to then too of her hooves so she ends up with a tide mark of mucky over her hooves.

Are there any magic drying leg wraps that cover feather?!

Wood flour is quick

White sawdust can be bought from heavy horse suppliers. Otherwise, wash the night before, apply a chalk paste and brush out in the morning.

Does wood flour/sawdust dry the feathers too?

Pig oil and wood flour will keep feathers sparkling.

Yup, works a bit like when we put talc on, absorbs wet, then you brush it off.

Cool! Cobs are a whole new world! 🙈

I knew someone that blow dried their horse’s feathers...

It's been suggested 😂

Nothing to add, except said cob is absolutely lush.

Go out for a hack. Mine are dry by the time I get back.
