Lillidale Mud Protect Barrier Cream for Horses

Lillidale Mud Protect Barrier Cream for Horses and Ponies

Lillidale Mud Protect is a barrier cream applied to a horse's legs and stomach to help protect the skin in muddy, wet conditions. It is best for owners dealing with heavy winter turnout, churned gateways and soft, wet going, where mud sits against the skin day after day.

As well as shielding those exposed areas, it eases the grooming and cleaning process after work and assists in the prevention of soil-borne infections. It suits horses, cobs and ponies, including feathered legs that hold mud close to the skin.

Key Features

• Leg and belly protection — targets the areas most exposed to deep mud and standing water.
• Easier clean-up — helps mud lift away after work so grooming takes less scrubbing.
• Skin management support — assists in the prevention of soil-borne infections as part of a daily routine.
• Everyday yard use — for turnout, hacking, schooling and mucky field work through the winter months.
• Suits all types — horses, cobs, ponies and youngsters, including heavy-feathered legs.

2. Check the skin for cuts, scabs or soreness before applying.
3. Take a small amount of cream and work it evenly over the lower legs and stomach with your hands.

6. Close the container after use and wash your hands.

FAQ

What is Lillidale Mud Protect used for?
It is a barrier cream applied to a horse's legs and stomach to help protect the skin during muddy conditions and to make cleaning easier after work.

When should I apply it?
Apply to clean, dry skin before turnout, hacking or schooling, and reapply as often as the conditions and your horse's routine require.

Can I use it on feathered legs?
Yes. Part the feather and work the cream down to the skin so the barrier sits where the mud actually collects, rather than on the surface of the hair.

Does it help with soil-borne infections?
It assists in the prevention of soil-borne infections by helping to keep mud off the skin. It is a management aid, not a treatment, so speak to your vet about any existing skin condition.

Do I need to wash the legs before reapplying?
Yes, ideally. Removing mud and drying the skin first stops grit being trapped under the cream and keeps the barrier working as intended.

Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
It can be used on horses, cobs and ponies. Smaller types simply need less product per application.
