This is a common condition in winter. It is caused by a horse standing in wet muddy fields or when you wash their legs and dont dry them off. Its a bit like you washing your hands in winter and going out in the cold without drying them. The skin gets chapped and sore combined with mud and grit bacteria enters the sores and infection starts.It can be very serious and make their legs swollen and lead to lameness.
