Laurajazz we have used it for many years especially when the ground is very muddy once a week and we've never been bothered with it (like you touchwood).

Forget the mud fever, its more like the horses are getting webbed feet from all the rain

Ours usually reject rain - so they won't get webbed feet.

Its awful here, wet and very windy, another 10 mins and I'm off to give them their tea/supper. I picked up a fresh bag of carrots up to put in their tea's. I expect them to be dry.

good old vaseline does the trick!! the cheap brands in big tubs!!! go to the pound shops for it! lol...we are now stocking up for winter as you can guarantee there wont be any in the shops when we need it! is also good for the areas where rugs may rub, fly masks etc, if you use it regular, before they get rubbed xx

my youngster emir had it really bad last winter. he was hopping lame for 3 days, had vet out twice and he was on high strength antibiotics and bute. i had to learn how to inject him to get it into his system quicker. he had to go and have an x-ray as it was so bad they thought it had gone down to his pedal bone. the vet prescribed aqeueous cream (sp) and put some of the antibiotic that i was injecting him with into it. i rubbed that on it and it cleared up in a week. now if he gets a bit i just rub that in and it goes the next day. aqueous cream helps soften the scabs as vet said not to take scabs off. here is a picture of him when he was bad with it. poor little mite. i puff that keratex on him when he goes out in wet weather and touch wood he hasnt had it bad since then
