Why you need M-T-G in the winter!

We often think that summer poses the most horse skin care challenges, but winter has it’s own set of issues that need your attention. Sure, there are no bugs in winter!But, fuzzy winter coats often mask skin issues. Your first line of defense in the winter is constant and thorough grooming! Here are some handy tips for winter grooming:

• Be sure to remove blankets daily to inspect and groom your horse.
• Use proper tools to get through a winter coat. You might need a stiffer curry comb or a dandy brush with stiffer bristles.
• Use your fingers to inspect your horse’s skin every day! Especially where the saddle, bridle, and girth lay.
• Use coolers to help your horse dry if he’s sweaty.
• Consider clipping. You don’t have to full body clip, but you can do a trace clip to keep things easy to monitor and easy to clean. And easy to dry!

If you happen to find some skin issues in winter, M-T-G is such a versatile product that you can use it for any and all winter skin problems.Be sure to keep your Veterinarian in the loop, and read the directions!You will need to do a spot test.
