It thrives in warm, wet conditions and often occurs in horses with compromised immune systems or inadequate grooming.

Prompt treatment with topical or systemic antibiotics is important to prevent further spread and discomfort to the horse.

If you do groom your horse everyday and it lives out in winter, that isn't a good idea unless you rug the horse with a heavyweight or mediumweight rug, otherwise you will groom all the natural oils in his coat out that keep him warm, but you can groom him about every 2-3 weeks to keep him clean.

What disease does a horse get from not being groomed?
It could get rain rot. Rain rot is one of the most common skin infections seen in horses. It is also referred to as "rain scald" or "streptothricosis". The organism that causes rain rot appears and multiplies in warm, damp conditions where high temperature and high humidity are present. This condition is not life-threatening, so don't worry. However, while the horse has rain rot, any equipment that may rub and irritate the infected skin (such as saddles and leg wraps) should be eliminated. Rain rot can appear as large crust-like scabs, or small 1/4 inch matted tufts of hair. There is usually dozens of tiny scabs that have embedded hair and can be easily scraped off. Underneath the scabs, the skin is usually (but not always) pink with puss when the scabs are first removed, then it becomes gray and dry as it heals. It is usually hard to differentiate rain rot from other similar skin conditions, so if you are unsure, call your veterinarian. In the early stages, you will be able to feel small lumps on the horses' skin or hair by running your hand over your horse's coat.

Why does your horse look like it has dandruff?
The main cause for a horse apprearing to have dandruff is that... it does. Horses can have dandruff just like people. However, if this dandruff appears excessive and you notice the horse to be shedding more than usual or losing fur altogether, your horse may have rein rot. If this is the case, keep him away from your other horses, as rein rot is a fungus and is contageous. Also, don't use any of the brushes, blankets, saddles, etc. from this horse on others until they have been THOROUGHLY cleaned and disinfected. As for your horse himself, you'll need to bathe him every other day using a mixture of horse-safe shampoo and iodine...yes iodine... This will kill the infection. There is a product on the market for rein rot called "Viodine." However it will have the same effect as mixing a GENEROUS portion of iodine and horse-safe shampoo. ( I suggest main and tail, which can be purchased at your local Kroger.) Remember to keep the soapy mixture away from your horse's eyes, nose and ears. You need to scrub him WELL. (Trust me, it will feel good to him/her) If the problem persists, see your local vet. Good luck and happy trails! That's a good answer...but it's rain rot, not "rein rot".
Can humans get rainrot from a horse?
Its a bacterial infection influencing the skin, causing bald spots. To prevent rain rot you should try to keep your horse dry, by either blanketing the horse or providing a shelter that is dry and easily accessible. Once the horse has rain rot however you'll need to treat it, which can take time and patience. You will need to bath the horse in medicated shampoo, dry his coat thoroughly and then apply something along the lines of petroleum jelly to the scabs only and allow them to soften then peel them off. You will also need to sanitize all of your horses equipment to prevent re-infection.
