EQUR for mud related conditions

Additional information about EQUR

EQUR is entirely safe to use and is made of a complex of naturally occurring organic compounds used for centuries to help skin infections. It is a natural product and has no known side effects. Horses respond very well to its use. It is an excellent all-round helper, very useful as a preventative and for helping with for all the small cuts and abrasions that occur in the field and around busy stable yards. EQUR is also very effective against fungal conditions.
Horses in the wild don't get mud related problems very often. This is mainly because they don't stay on low lying pasture in wet weather and also because they keep as warm and dry as they can at all times. Their absolute survival depends on their health and their ability to run away from danger, so they avoid anything that can slow them down. There is one other factor in play which is that horses in the wild don't get washed off very often!
Contrary to popular practice, washing and brushing off the mud from muddy ponies and horses doesn't help them to avoid mud related conditions, it usually makes things worse. The water from the hose washes out more of the natural oils, leaving the skin yet more soggy, then the brushing damages the weakened skin.

Three steps to try and avoid mud related problems:

First -

Leave as much hair as possible on your horse's legs and heels during winter. This hair acts to prevent the mud from contact with the skin and also helps to retain the natural oils which keep the skin waterproof.

Second -

Bed your horse down on an absorbent material so that its feet and legs dry out properly and keep warm. Try not to use straw if possible, shavings or hemp based bedding are better.

Third -

Give the feet and legs a regular once-over application of Heelit. Heelit is specially formulated to pass through the skin and to form a protective barrier which helps keep the skin more water resistant. It can also help eradicate the mud-related bacterium (dermatophilus congolensis) so infection can't take hold so easily.

Do this and you will have a far higher chance of avoiding mud related conditions this year and in the future. However, it is not always possible to avoid being unfortunate enough to have your horse come down with mud related conditions. If that happens, make sure that you use EQUR to help you quickly resolve the problem.
