[LeeBlack]

Hi all,

I am looking for a bit of advice.A friend of mine recently bought a 4 year old thoroughbred who has been roughing it on a mountain since the previous owner had him and he had quite alot of weatherbeat all over his body.Can anyone recomend anything or anyway to get rid of it.

Help!!!!

you must mean rainscald?? best thing is to wash with antibac like hibiscrub and gently lift the scabs and dry thoroughly, camarosa cream is meant to be good too, you have to keep them clean and dry for the infection to clear up.
