Help! It’s Rain Rot
November 12, 2025
My chestnut thoroughbred mare is prone to rain rot. Every time it seems to be gone, it reappears. I’ve used every product including tar shampoo to heal her skin. But, what I never found was a product that was preventative. I watched another woman in my barn using Equiderma skin lotion almost everyday on her horse. Anyway, she convinced me to try it. So far, the rain rot scabs are releasing more easily. I will continue using it even after this bout of crud is gone. Fingers crossed that I’ve found a preventative.
