Summer sores

I hate summer sores.  This blog is usually about Zoe and me but this time it's about another horse I have-Sky.  He's been getting summer sores the end of every summer for about 3 years in a row.  I have an idea about this.  Every since I've been deworming him 2-3 times a year (dependent on his good fecal tests) I have to deal with summer sores.  So I think I'm done with the 2-3 times a year deworming and will go back to my old schedule.  Maybe he's just a horse that needs to have the extra protection.  We'll give it a try and hopefully I'll remember and write about it in a year and it will be better.  Anyway here are some picts of this year's sore.  I've been working on this since July and here it is Sept 23 and it's finally healed.  Wrapping and Prednisolone.  Normally I don't give the Pred for this, but this one was nasty.
