Wound care depends entirely on the wound.
If the wound is open and/or infected, you need to call your vet immediately to have it looked at and cleaned.
If the wound is smaller (like a bite wound or a scrap from something) then make sure to simply keep it clean. You can try spraying an antiseptic on it to keep it from getting infected, but the most important thing is to keep it clean and to keep flies away from it so that it can heal.
If you can't see the wound (for example, horse is limping with no apparent reason), and you can't figure out what is causing your horse's pain, it's best to call someone who would be able to check the horse out (either a barn manager, trainer or the vet). It is always better of being safe than sorry, especially with an animal as large as a horse.

∙ 12y agoIf a horse has an open wound with maggots in it you need to call and equine vet right away. Horses are more delicate than they seem and require a minimal level of care. If the wound is not treated properly by a vet it will become even more infected and possible cause the horse to fall seriously ill and die.

Can a horse on Howrse foal a day late?
If you take care of the horse on the day that it has to give birth, but you don't pay for the birthing, the mare will lose the foal and you will lose a karma point. If you do not take care of the horse, it will not age and therefore will not lose the foal until you take care of it. If you do not have enough money for the birthing, you can just leave the horse alone until you raise enough money.
