Clean feet and legs

“If I only had 30 minutes to get a muddy horse competition-ready, I’d use a time-saving, step-by-step process,” says Jess. “First, if your horse’s feet and legs are muddy, hose them and pick out his feet. Depending on how muddy they are and the temperature on the day, I’d boil a kettle so I can give them a warm, soapy rub down too. Ultimately, it’s quicker and easier to wash muddy legs than try to brush the mud off. “Always dry legs really well to prevent mud fever and other skin conditions and apply talcum powder to white legs. This helps to dry them, as well as making them whiter.”
