Pre Competition - Preparing the Coat
When getting horses ready for competitions bath one or two days before a show, weather permitting.
If your horse or pony is in need of a thorough bath Cavalor Equi Wash is great for taking out all the grease and dirt, accumulated from turning out at grass.
As we have a lot of greys on the yard this season including the lightweight cob Copenhagen owned by Rowena Stevenson and the maxi cob, Correl Wood belonging to Ruth Parker it appears to be a constant round of bathing and trimming.
Correl Wood is having a great season finishing at the top of the line at BSPS Area 5 and North of England Summer shows, just missing out on his HOYS ticket when finishing second at Lincolnshire Show.

Congratulations to Amerigo ambassador Nicola Wilson who won the BETA CIC3* at the Equi-Trek Bramham Horse Trials. Riding Annie Clover, who is owned by her parents, Mary and Barry Tweddle, it was Nicola's first win at her favourite event.

Cavalor always believe that prevention is key. As warm, moist and muddy conditions are ideal for bacteria, it is important to avoid these environments where possible.
When prevention is too late it is important that bacterial infections are dealt with as soon as possible. Make sure the leg is dry before you apply Cavalor® MudDoc, a cream that works on different levels to help heal. This cream will absorb very easily to avoid a thick creamy layer because this can exacerbate an infection.
Apply Cavalor® MudDoc at least once a day, this acts as an antibacterial and promotes the healing of the skin. Make sure you keep applying Cavalor® MudDoc until the skin is totally healed and the hair has completely grown back. If you quit too fast, the problem may come back.
Always seek advice from your vet if you are concerned about your horse’s health.
Cavalor MudDoc is priced at around £31.50 for 200ml.
