Background
Tonya Cummins’ horse, Gabby, a draft cross warmblood mare, had a long history of chronic mud fever, including severe flare-ups that resulted in lameness. During previous winters, the condition repeatedly limited work and competition. Topical creams provided only partial and short-lived relief.
Intervention
Stride-On® Equine leg bands were introduced as part of mud fever management. No other changes to routine care.
Reported Outcome
Since fitting the bands:
-
Mud fever has remained under control, with no major flare-ups reported
-
The mare returned to soundness and resumed showing
-
Bands were described as easy to use and secure during wear
-
Bands were temporarily removed only for compliance with rated show rules
“The bands are awesome. They're definitely keeping the mud fever away. When I first reached out, this mare was dead lame from mud fever—and now she's back to showing so it is fantastic.”
