From Daily Struggle to Easy Care: How Lucy Laxon Helped Her Mares Beat Mud Fever
Winters in the Waikato can be tough on horses. With wet paddocks, mud fever is a recurring battle for many owners. For Lucy Laxon, managing her mares’ mud fever had become a daily challenge — until she discovered Stride-On Equine.
Before using Stride-On, Lucy was applying topical treatments daily, often needing help to treat hind legs safely.
Everything changed once Lucy tried Stride-On Equine bands. Within a couple of weeks, she began to notice visible improvement. By four to six weeks, mud fever had completely resolved.
The bands also transformed Lucy’s routine. Instead of daily treatments, she simply checked that the bands were still in place. She found they stayed on perfectly without affecting her mares’ movement or comfort.
For Lucy, one of the biggest differences was how effortless and safe the process became. There was no need to handle sore legs or spend time applying treatments — the bands quietly did the work.
Stride-On Equine has meant effective and easier care, safer handling, and healthier horses.
