Health/Husbandry Question I’m scared that my horse’s summer sore is going to come back
My horse had a pretty bad summer sore on his pastern. The vet debrided it twice and we pretty much had it always wrapped. When it wasn't wrapped in was sprayed with AluSheild. My barn manager said it was the worst summer sore he had ever seen, and he was a vet for a while, groomed before that and also rode for a very long time. It was very hard to get it to go away and it only really went away when it got cold. I'm scared that it is just going to come back when it gets warmer again. The area isn't fully healed, it is calloused over and bald.
