Hi Conor, Mud-rash or mud-fever are the most common condition but you are correct that there are other conditions that can be mistaken for it. Mites are relatively common (especially in horses with lots of feather) and will cause similar scabs even in dry conditions. Horses can also get infected by a bacterial infection, Staphylococcus to cause a quite painful condition that can occur secondarily to mud-rash or mites. It is usually so painful that the horse is lame. There are other conditions that come under the term “pastern dermatitis” that are related to the immune system such as vasculitis which are difficult to determine a cause and can be quite difficult to treat (partly for that reason!). These may respond to topical steroids but I would only use hers as a last resort. Picking scabs off is, as you say, counter-intuitive because you are exposing damaged skin. However this allows treatment to get to the source of the infection. If it’s not mud-rash the scabs will be incredibly sore and veterinary treatment is needed (as for pastern dermatitis). I hope this helps for what is a very difficult condition that may be affected by the horse’s immunity and the soil type (in my opinion) and can be difficult to resolve!

@@simonconstableequinevets5219 we've had the vet over and he said it's mud rash. Picked the scab off, it bled which I was expecting, washed it with some form of antibacterial wash (reddish/pink liquid?) and put blue spray on it. Told us to repeat this over the next week. It's a racing thoroughbred so I'd imagine we wouldn't be allowed use any form of steroid? Anyway, the horse seems to be getting better. It's hard to tell how his skin is doing with the blue spray but I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.

Usually that is best to do. But he was saying that with the foal being upside down and with the foal showing signs of decline, he needed to step in to help.
