Does anyone else horses get scabs on their legs off bandages? I'm guessing this is whats up with mine.
Bathed her today and washed her legs, as i went to rinse the legs on the front of her white stocking there was scabs falling off as you touched them. I cleaned up what was hanging off and its taken all the hair off and left a big bald patch which was red but not bleeding. I then noticed on the other back leg in the exact same place (only it was on the brown hair) she had the same type of scab only that wasnt ready to come off but was bleeding slighty underneth.
I'm confused as to where these have come from and the only thing i can think of is from bandages from a show a couple of week ago?

The same thing happened to my mare, i turned her out in them Equi Chaps , as she had a kick a few weeks back and i put goose greese on it to get rid of the little lump which worked wonders! but then put the equi chaps on and her leg scabbed and the hair came off. The vet told us to leave it naturally to heal dont pick any of the scabs or anything off.
