Quick Tip: Treating Dew Poisoning/Scratches


Part of the Horseman's Journey Vlog series is bringing you and your horses as much valuable information as we can. Here is a few quick tips on treating, caring for and preventing dew poisoning/scratches.

Extra Tips and Advice from GROOMING EXPERT, Trudy Midas of Espana Silk International! **Clipping the back legs- be sure you tie that tail up! Don't want to have to explain to your wife or client how their horses tail got clipped off! **Fly Spray- use it! It can take a few minutes to get all 4 clipped and some horses may be a bit wiggly. When the flies are out help your horse a bit and use the fly spray! Summary- -Keep those legs dry -Keep their legs clipped so the fungus does not have anything to cling on to -Regularly apply your anti-fungal/antibacterial medication in conjunction with your Espana Silk Grooming Products Topical Spray.
