Well I haven't posted here for a week, that's mainly because I have nothing to report except that my horse is now completely better.

Had to ease off the traing for a while to let the cut on his front leg heal. It was quite a bad one and need constant daily treatment. I was worried he might develop 'proud flesh' that mysterious affliction of horses that doesn't affect us, or any other mammal as far as I am aware. It is nasty when the proud flesh development goes into overdrive and starts building more tissues, and more...and more...and more...until there is a huge mountain of flesh where the wound used to be.

I applied Animlintex soaked in boing water and allowed to cool and bandaged it on. It did a good job of getting out any infection and leaving the wound clean enough to start the dry treatment. For that, i hosed his legs down and then towel dried them and applied sulphanilamide powder. Every horse owner should have those two items in their horse first aid. Oh and a Great Tip from my Mom. Apply every day, two times a day is also okay a solution of 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water. Use the every day stuff you can get from the chemist, it is sold for peroxiding hair, this is 3% solution and mix it 50/50 with water. Beleive me it is fabulous stuff and NO Germs will be able to live there EVER. It is really cheap too.
The chemical formula of it is H2O2 so it is exactly like water but with one extra molecule of oxygen. It really does work wonders.

Let me know anyone if you try my tip and tell me what you think
Cheers!
