How to prevent horse mud mange
Keep it simple and efficient
Prevention is strongly recommended when :
1/ your horse has white socks,
2/ your horse has a tendency to get mud mange every year.
As a general rule, preventing mud mange is often much less restrictive than treating it when it occurs.
On average, once every 15 days (and certainly no more), apply a TEA TREE SHAMPOO, drying well afterwards. This will purify the legs while protecting them by leaving a protective film.
Avoid using showers to remove mud in winter, but wait until it's dry and brush off the worst of it. The wetter you get, the more fragile your skin will become. Also, avoid anti-bacterial soaps, which will further weaken the epidermis.
If you absolutely must shower, use tea tree shampoo and dry thoroughly.
Dry skin is skin that cracks and becomes infected with moisture, as in the case of chapped lips. Even in humid climatic conditions, water, wind, low temperatures or, conversely, the sun, will gradually dry out the epidermis.
To stop the skin drying out, protect the legs most prone to mud scabies (whatever they may be) once a week with NATJELY. This neutral botanical balm provides a high level of hydration and helps skin regain its elasticity. What's more, NATJELY is an ideal barrier for fragile areas such as the pastern hollow. 100% waterproof yet breathable, it offers simplicity of care and great effectiveness against environmental problems. Avoid balms based on active ingredients such as sulfur vaselines, which eliminate the problem on the surface but deeply irritate the epidermis.
The sun is terribly harmful to fragile skin, especially on white socks.
When the sun is shining (spring-summer), apply SOLAREN once or twice a week to provide essential sun filters for skin protection.
Shower as little as possible. Always dry off if showering is compulsory.
