Was wondering about this yesterday, because neddy has rolled on some stones in the field and got a few scrapes.

For little cuts and scrapes I dont usually put anything on them, just cold hose to clean and bring down any swelling. Yesterday, however, I put some Dermoline on, just to protect them from the flies and dust (he was going back out in the field).

I also didn't ride, because I know little scrapes on me sometimes sting like hell, and I was also worried about attracting flies if he got sweaty. Planning on riding today though.

What does everybody else do with little cuts and scrapes?

Small cuts and grazes - diluted iodine or hibiscrub solution on cotton wool, then an antiseptic cream on top to keep flies out. I only wouldn't ride if the sores were in the saddle/bridle area.

Hia, hibiscrub it and then use this stuff called CAMROSA ointment. You cant use it with anything else but it is good stuff. get well soon xx
