Horse problem?
My horse was put out in her rug the other day and the leg straps at the back were fastened wrongly. she now has a square patch on the inside of her left hind leg with no hair on it. it isnt bloody and the skin wasnt broken or raw, just hairless! what can i do to help her grow the hair back?
Answers:
Pull the blanket. They're useless.
just leave it now and make sure the rug is fitted correctly in the future. she'll shed her winter coat in the spring and the summer coat will come through. Don't worry about it the hair will grow back. if you are really wanting to help the hair grow back use coconut oil on the hairless part.
Leave it be..the hair will grow back. If you apply oils it will help to prevent the skin from getting dry but will also collect dirt. Blanketing a horse helps to prevent over sweating when worked in cooler weather and prevent a chill but if your using a blanket to lessen the hair coat its the wrong theory. To prevent hair coat you need light. So put your horse on lights most of the day but if you do this you will need to blanket him as well. Hope this helps but for the hair just being rubbed off is no big deal. Just fit it more properly for now on.
Take the leg straps off and put a fillet string that runs under her tail. from both ends of the rug. There should be rings to fix it to. Usually you can improvise and use one of the leg straps as a fillet string, then as long as you have cross over belly straps the rug will not move and the damaged area will repair
My horse always has his rugs done up this way as he tends to kick and it is safer not to have the leg straps.
It works, promise
it's only hair--it will grow back
Look for an ointment for livestock called nu-stock, in tennessee it runs about 12 dollars and it comes in a plastic container. It will grow hair back and if I'm out of that I usually use neosporin , the hair should start to come back in 2 weeks
Corona ointment helps hair grow back faster.
Green oils gel is very good for encouraging hair growth, but put some aloe vera on it for a few days to soothe any inflamed skin there might be - hope the condition soon passes.
To help hair grow back quicker on my horses (mane & tail hair as well as body hair) - I use a product called M.T.G (Mane and Tail Grow). It is widely available at tack stores and stores like Tractor Supply. It is about $12.00 for a quart and it works wonders. Just shake the bottle up well and apply. You will see results in about a week to two.
It should just grow back on it's own but tee tree oil really helps!
