wow, the weather must have improved for most folks with all the 
helpful posts today<g>  I haven't had to deal a lot with scratches, 
knock wood; but heres a tip for anytime you would use panalog -rope 
burn, inflammation with scratches, wounds that you want to prevent 
excessive flesh growing before the slowpoke skin growth gets 
there.... Our vet gave us this one - mix equal parts of the triple 
antibiotic ointment and a cortizone creme or ointment.

My older mare is somewhat prone to get 'scratches' on her front 
legs-- cannon bone area.  Rogers recipe (Roger Rittenhoues) for 
calendula (marigold) tincture (mine is mixed with water and baby 
oil) seems to prevent scratches on her when I apply it when I notice 
her developing excessive dermitis(sp?) on her legs. 
Marigold/calendula is sposed to be generally useful for minor skin 
ailments from what I've read.

On a completely different topic -- I love Rogers 'linimint' recipe 
for MY feet.  It seems to help with circulation when applied before 
long rides and it keeps the skin healthy when used after you get 
your riding shoes soaking wet and have to wear them for hours <g>

Cheers,
Teresa
