cash (my horse) has a cut lip, and it has scabbed over and i have been putting sergical spirit and vasilin on it and i have a show on sunday, my friend said put vasiline on it, whitch i have
but what do you's reccomend for the fastest clearence of the cut,?
because otherwise i guess im only going too be doing the inhand (i reallyy!! hope its cleared up but sunday)
so what have you's guys done whn your horse has got a cut lip
thanks x


do you think it will be cleared by sunday?
 
I suppose it depends how bad the cut is...

A horse at my yard cut his lip and the vet had to come out and put staples in it!!

I'd just keep it clean otherwise, and use Camrosa (or sudocrem!). Usually with horsey cuts you'd take the scab off but I'm not sure what the protocol would be with lips!

No idea, with not seeing it, whether it'll be gone for Sunday!
 
This has been done to death on another forum but she hasn't got the answer she wants (hint - she wants to go to a show on Sunday & doesn't appear too bothered about her horse

I wondered why there were two threads with similar titles, I've only just clocked it's the same poster!

To the OP - basically your horse is injured you should not put a bit its mouth until it has completely healed, it is unlikely that this will be by Sunday.

Could you do your in hand show in a headcollar instead, it may cost you marks but at least you get to go if you really wanted to.

Personally I'd just wait for another day to go to a show, its only just the start of the spring/summer season.
 
Like we told you on the other forum, please stop with the surgical spirit, use a bit of Sudocrem instead and do the show in your leather headcollar. Honestly, it isn't worth risking Cash's mouth for one little show.

When he is fully healed, perhaps you can organise another jumping show at the yard for you and the other liveries and really show everyone what you can do, without having to worry about his mouth.
