Mud spray

[Summit]

For those using pig/baby oil, what do you do after a few days when the mud has built up? Is it really that easy to just brush off or Do you wash off and reapply? I’m concerned I’ll then be rubbing surplus mud into the area

I’ve been using sudocream or muddy buddy ointment and his fetlocks are just turning into a gunky mess of cream and mud

Thanks I’ve been wondering about this one. How long does a pot last? I’m thinking to apply every day to lower legs to keep clean to put hoof boots on for riding.

I found it depends on the amount of feather. If you have lots of feather, a pot won't last as long because you'll want to rub it into them. If your horse has less hairy legs, I would expect a pot to last at least a few weeks.

Please be careful with pig oil. It is well known to cause an adverse reaction on the skin.
I can't use it on mine and neither can my sister on hers. Baby oil also makes my horses skin red and split. It makes my skin sore too ?

Mine have no feather, and I clip legs off anyway, but I just wash off each evening with the hose. The water beads and runs off with the mud and they look fab!
It’s worth doing a patch test as is a common one for reactions, but I absolutely swear by it.

This is what has worked for me on muddy legs without wounds.
I have not had any adverse reactions but I would always test first.
Apply oil with a sponge stroking downwards on to dry legs. I only put more on to coat the long hairs not to saturate to the skin.
When grooming the mud comes away easily. I reapply on to dry legs about 3 times a fortnight.

I used a thick cream once, never again. It took hours to clean it off so I could apply the oil.

Mine too. And human massage oil, nettex 7 day mud away spray and a number of other mineral oil based products.

Thanks, little feather and mainly using on front legs below fetlock, so hopefully last a few weeks ?
