Winter might bring cosy rugs and warm feeds…
…but for your horse’s skin and hooves, it can be the perfect storm 🌪️
Constant wet fields, damp bedding, and deep-littered stables create the ideal breeding ground for bacteria and fungi.
💦 Mud and moisture soften the skin and hoof tissue, breaking down their natural defences.
🦠 Once the barrier is compromised, opportunistic bacteria and fungi thrive — leading to conditions like mud fever and thrush.
👣 Mud Fever:
Often starts as small scabs or irritation on the legs — especially the heels and pasterns.
Cold, muddy conditions + friction from wet rugs or boots = damaged skin that bacteria love.
🐾 Thrush:
That black, smelly discharge from the frog? A sign of infection caused by prolonged damp and lack of airflow in the hoof.
But prevention doesn’t have to be complicated 👇
💚 Cavalor MudDoc
A powerful, soothing cream that fights bacteria and fungi while supporting skin repair. It creates a protective barrier against mud and moisture — without sealing the skin.

A natural hoof disinfectant that keeps the frog dry and strong. Ideal for daily use in wet conditions to prevent thrush before it starts.
✨ Keep legs clean and dry.
✨ Pick out hooves daily.
✨ Support the skin and hoof’s natural defences with targeted care.
