Showing with Mud Fever?

[Lorian]

Hi

I just wondered what people's opinions were about showing when a horse has mud fever?
This is probably a silly question but will the judge mark them down for it?
I want to do in hand and ridden showing with my arab. I was thinking of doing the Best Condition, Arab and Veteren classes.

He only has it on his hind heels but hes grey with pink skin so you can see the scabs a bit. Its just a local show though?

I wouldn't worry about. It is possible in best condition that a judge may mark down slightly but certainly if everything else is ok I would go for it.
