Saddle or Boot Rubs & Minor Wounds (Horse)Updated 2 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.

Step by step: How to care for rubs

1️⃣ Clean gently
Wash off dirt and sweat, then pat dry completely.

2️⃣ Apply SOS Hydro RepairGel
A thin layer cools and soothes irritation instantly.

3️⃣ After 1–2 days:
Switch to Hydro RepairGel Horse for long-term skin strengthening.

4️⃣ Apply regularly until the skin has fully recovered.
