Fw: Scratches

["Janet Baca" <horsetrl@ctaz.com>]

Hey everyone,
Thanks for all your suggestions, unfortunately,  we live in the desert in AZ
and it is as dry as a bone now with plenty of dust to eat.  There is no dew
here in the morning and no clover, and in the corral, not even any weeds for
the poor kids.  It doesn't really look like sunburn either, it's not pink.
Her hair is growing in thick now because of the very cool nights (40s-50s).
It's very hard and goes almost the length of her white area, looks like
little pebbles growing out of her nose is as best I can describe it.  But
almost everyone suggested Desitin so I will try it and let you know if it
works.  Thanks for the quick response.
Janet Baca
