Mug

Mug is a common skin problem around the pastern. White skin is particularly prone to these conditions. Mug consists of small wounds and scabs, and if it is very severe, your horse may even become lame.

Mug is a skin condition that can be caused by external and internal factors
caused. Mug includes all irritations on the lower legs, but the one in the pastern is still
the best known. Mug can be very persistent.
Mug is mostly seen towards the end of summer and in autumn, when it gets a bit wetter. There are
however, horses are always sensitive to it, especially breeds with socks such as
Tinkers, Draught horses and Friesians.
How does mug develop in horses?
Mug can be caused by both internal and external factors.
- External factors
External factors that can play a role in mug include: bacteria, fungi in
combination with wetness, dirt and sunlight, among other things. In an optimal situation, the skin of a
horse protected against these bacteria and fungi. However, if a horse's resistance
is reduced, then bacteria and/or fungi can attack the skin.
- Internal factors
Nutrition is not a direct cause of mug, however, it is an important factor. Skin problems in
in general are often caused from within by reduced immunity. This
reduced immunity is related to the balance of intestinal flora. You can therefore
think of it as an extension of the gut. A horse in the wild grazes 16 hours a day. A horse has
therefore a large large large intestine and blind intestine where roughage (grass/hay/early dry silage) is
digested. For a healthy gut flora, it is very important that your horse's first instant

gets enough roughage.
Symptoms of mugging in horses
There are several symptoms you can recognise mug in your horse by, such as:
- Flakes, scabs, redness and fissures in the pastern. Indeed, the pastern is a sought-after
place for pathogens such as fungi, mites and bacteria.
- Itching, your horse starts stamping or rubbing his legs together. This can also be a sign
of mites are.
- Your horse is lame due to pain from the splits.
- There may be moist eczema in the hollow of the hoof.
- The lower leg or entire leg is swollen. This is probably due to inflamed lymphatic pathways.
