are excellent candidates for Mudd. A horse who has just come up lame after stepping on a rock or pulling a shoe will
benefit as well. Mudd can also be used encourage drainage when your horse has a hoof abscess. As a hoof pack,

lot of local swelling can be treated with mudd. Rub on a small amount to cover the area and run some cold water over
it.
- When hauling, apply to legs when hauling 3+ hours. Apply over knees and hocks all the way down to the hoof. (No need
for wrapping if you don't have an injury). Apply a thin coating, then hose down (not off) with cold water to chill the
mudd. Repeat with water after you arrive to your destination, and leave on until your ready to get your horse ready.

the cover off until desired thickness.
