Pink muzzles!!

[Fells_4_ever]

Does anyone else have the same problem as me?
I have to suncream archie's nose in summer because it gets burnt and blistered!
Everyone thinks im crazy for doing it!

[Skip_n_Hide]

No your not crazy... dont worry... I use to do it all the time to Domino down the riding school I use to help out at... and they still do it...

And if the flies like your horse... feeding your horse marmite sandwiches every morning can be useful... or your normal garlic...

I used sunscreen on my paints nose but it gets washed off fairly easy in the water buckets. The best thing I have found is fly masks with full nose gaurds. I used one called the gaurdian. stateline sells it relativly inexpensively.

your not crazy i have 3 horses that i have to put sun screen on.... otherwise we can't put the bit in cus the nose gets sunburnt and sensitive also when my horses drink it comes off so we get the waterproof kind 30spf

most horses with pink noses need suncream

Everyone at my barn thought i was insane when i told them they needed to sunscreen their horses nose's. I, of course, was shocked that they'd never heard of it.

You're not crazy. =) I typically use SPF 55 on my western horse, but Indy doesn't need it.

One thing I've found with horses with pink noses is to keep them in during the day and have turnout at night. This also helps to keep their coats from bleaching in the sun. but if you can't do the turn out thing (i couldn't with one of my horses at the time) I but spf 50 sunblock on them with waterproof. that really helped alot!!!
