i'm getting so frustrated how am i possibly gonna get her fit for the 17th
 
My horse had something that looked similar to this. It turned out to be an allergic reaction to something and basically her legs erupted and started oozing. It looked like Mud Fever but worse. I got the vet and he said it was a good thing i did as it could have got worse and an infection spread. It might be something totally different but if I was you I'd get the vet out asap.

It cleared up with anti-biotics and steroid cream after a couple of weeks and hasn't happened since. I think it was caused by her getting her next door neighbour's feed which contained a supplement she was obviously allergic to.

Sorry but i can't remember what it was called as it was over Christmas.
