Re: [RC] Scratches - Jim & Drin Becker

Shapleys MTG from Jeffers.  Seems to be helping but would like a faster =

for this nasty stuff.  I have tried Micro Tek and Destin before and it =

not seem to help any better.  Help!
 
All of my riding horses have been prone to scratches unfortunately , probably because they are kept in an irrigated pasture that also contains clover :-) Every one of my horses responds differently , what works like a miracle on one won't begin to heal the other . One horse Trail Rites magical cream worked great , another was a 50/50 solution of penicillin and DMSO , my current horse Micro Tek is the cure . All I know for sure are that they are a huge pain to treat no matter what . What I would like to hear from you guys is what do you put on your horse at a ride or at home to prevent getting them ? It seems like destin would tend to keep the dirt and sand on the area instead of protecting it or am I wrong about that ?
