Warm and wet can be a recipe for something we call pastern dermatitis. More commonly known as ""scratches"", ""mud fever"", ""dew poisoning"", ""greasy heel"" or ""cracked heels”. We see many cases in spring and summer because horses are getting bathed more frequently, sharing sport boots, or simply getting turned out early in the morning when the pastures are wet with dew. There are many ways you can prevent this common skin condition but if you are not having success the best next step is to consult our team and create a treatment plan for your horse.
