Fungi and bacteria live and propagate in the mud and dirt around your barn. You can’t really do much to prevent this short of extreme measures but to make it worse, it is the flies and biting insects that spread bacteria and fungal infections from horse to horse. Scratches and Mud Fever are a combination of bacteria and fungal infection that require an owner to keep an area free of the scabs that harbor the fungus beneath. These open sores are prey to further and continuous infection by that very dirty, fly infested environment in which your horse lives and it must feel at times that you are making no headway on the condition.
Silver Whinnys® maintain a hygienic environment around the legs useful for reducing dirt, debris and bio-burden near any pre-existing sores and wounds.
They serve as an outstanding alternative to bandaging, and fly protection, a barrier used to protect legs while scratches; mud fever, summer sores, or wounds heal. The socks breathe, allowing air to reach the skin surface, while moisture-managing yarns keep skin tissue dry.
The high-performance yarn continuously protects the socks from playing host to bacteria, fungus, mold and mildew in the toughest conditions and will not degrade or wash out for the life of the socks regardless of how many times they are machine washed and dried.
Sunlight exacerbates dermatological issues on the legs. Silver Whinnys® offer two layers of knit that can help to keep direct sunlight from photosensitive skin.
