Saddle or Boot Rubs & Minor Wounds (Horse)Updated 19 days ago

Gentle care for irritated horse skin. 💚

Friction from saddles, girths or boots can irritate your horse’s skin – especially in warm weather or after training. Doderm soothes, cools and helps the skin recover naturally – without cortisone.

How to recognise irritation

• Redness or rubbing marks under the saddle or girth

• Small scrapes or hair loss

• Discomfort during grooming or saddling

• Localized swelling or sensitivity

Early care prevents infection and speeds up healing.

How to care for irritated skin patches correctly

1️⃣ Clean the area – Gently rinse off dirt, sweat and dust with lukewarm water and pat the skin thoroughly dry.

2️⃣ Apply Skin RepairGel Mini – A thin layer soothes irritated skin immediately, cools lightly and promotes healing.

3️⃣ After 1–2 days: Switch to Skin RepairGel Horse to strengthen the skin barrier and support hair regrowth.

4️⃣ Apply regularly until the area has fully regenerated.

Why Doderm works so well here

• Soothing: Colostrum antibodies & plant-based ingredients relieve irritation & itching.
• Nourishing: Hyaluronic acid provides moisture and promotes healing.
• Protective: Ceramides strengthen the skin structure and help prevent re-irritation from rubbing.
• Natural: Free from cortisone, synthetic preservatives and silicones.

💚 Result: The skin becomes supple, hair regrowth is supported — and your horse feels comfortable all over.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Doderm under boots or bandages? Yes! The gel absorbs quickly without feeling greasy or sticky.

Does Doderm help with saddle pressure too? Yes, for mild pressure points or friction. For deep or painful pressure sores, a vet should take a look.

How often should I apply Doderm? 1–2× daily until the skin has calmed and the coat has grown back.

When to see a vet?

• For deeper or bleeding wounds
• If the area swells significantly or weeps
• If the horse shows signs of pain or goes lame

Minor rub sores usually heal quickly with Doderm — for deeper wounds or persistent pressure points, check the equipment too.
