As we start to see our field gateways turn to mud, it might be tempting to grab the hose to wash off your horse's legs.
But did you know that repeated washing can weaken the skin and increase the risk of skin conditions like mud fever?
Whenever possible, try to avoid excess washing and opt to brush off dried mud instead. If washing is necessary, be sure to towel dry your horseโs legs as much as you can afterwards. ๐งผโจ
To minimise mud in the field, consider adding hardstanding in high-traffic areas like gateways, or explore the range of mud mats available to help prevent poaching.
