Turnout boots for mud fever

[casinosolo]

I was looking at the Equilibrium close contact chaps as my boy has 4 white socks and I'm rather concerned about mud fever in the wetter months.

However, just seen this budget version and wondered if anyone had tried them:

Anyone used them and found they worked?

Thanks

I've tried the Equilibrium ones with my chestnut mare and they were worse than useless. Mud got in from the bottom, I was constantly trying to get them clean and dry and then to top it off - they rubbed her.

I then tried Muddy Marvel barrier cream and it's fantastic. None of my horses have had any mud fever since I was recommended it.

I only apply it twice a week (nice and thick, from the fetlock down to the coronet band) on dry legs. I never hose legs off, I would go for a ride/walk in-hand (avoiding mud and puddles ) and then brush the dry mud off once I was back at the yard. Then apply the cream - simple.

Excellent, thanks! I've been recommended sudocrem and vaseline too but that looks a bit more substantial Will try it!
