Turnout boots for mudfever

[Beans1]

I'm doing the usual for mud fever, pig oil, udder salve, sudocrem, allowing legs to dry etc but still not able to keep on top of the mudfever.

Looking to use some turnout boots but can't decide which ones to try, have looked at, Sportabac, Equilibrium hardy chaps, Westropp has anybody used these?

Yes, the equilibrium ones and they made everything worse. Muddy marvel barrier cream is excellent as long as you start to apply it when the legs are free of mud fever.

Have you tried antibiotics? It would be worth talking to your vet as there are treatments available that you can't get 'off the shelf' eg Flamazine. Plus in some cases antibiotics are needed. If your horse has suffered this summer, are you sure that it's not photosensitivity?

You can get stable boots from equimedag with silver that are supposed to be really good although there are quite expensive but they do have an offer on this weekend at your horse live. My boy had mud fever when I got him this summer but it seems to have cleared up otherwise I was going to buy these boots. I have been feeding Naf mud guard as well.

Best ones I've found are premier equine. They really stop the mud and wet getting in. I love them. My girl has 4 whites so would be easy to see if the mud got under them

This. I mainly got them as my horse is accident prone, so he wears them all year round. But they do a good job, as long as the field isn't underwater.

They can go in the washing machine and come up almost like new.

I agree, I use the premier equine turn out boots and they are great!
