CRAZY
CLYDESDALE shireS CRATCHES
...MUD FEVER...GREASED HEAL...cracked heal...RAIN ROT..
.PASTERN DERMATITIS...CHRONIC
PASTERN LYMPH-EDEMA.
SOMETIMES ALSO FOUND IN BELGIANS & PERCHERONS.
SYMPTOMS...CRUSTY
OOOZY LEAKING WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL
ON THE LOWER BACK LEGS.
AS THE CONDITION
WORSENS IT SPREADS UPWARDS.
CAN EVENTUALLY SPREAD TO THE ENTIRE BODY AND KILL THE HORSE
FROM TOXIC SHOCK
AND TOXEMIA.
STINKS. INFECTED LIKE SMELL...
PAINFUL TO THE HORSE.
OFTEN THE LEGS
STOCK UP WITH FLUID
AND GET HARD EVENTUALLY TURNING INTO HUGE TREE TRUNKS
THE HORSE CANNOT EVEN
BEAR TO WALK ON.
EVENTUALLY BECOMES FATAL.
WE SEE MANY HORSE PUT DOWN....CAUSED
BY....
LOW CUTANEOUS DESMOSINE LEVELS.
AKA LOW GLYCO PROTEIN. (70KD) ELASTIN LEVELS....
GLYCO PROTEINS ARE RANDOMLY COILED AND CROSS LINKED FIBERS...
FOUND IN CONNECTIVE TISSUES....LIKE COLLAGEN....
THIS AMINO ACID IS UNUSUAL BECAUSE 30 % OF ITS RESIDUES ARE GLYCINE
WITH A HIGH PROLINE
CONTENT......
CROSS LINKING DEPENDS ON THE FORMANTION OF DESMOSINE
FROM THE 4 LYSINE SIDE GROUPS.
DESMOSINE IS A CRUCIAL INGREDIENT OF ELASTIN.
DESMOSINE IS FORMED FROM 4 CHAINS OF LYSINE.
ELASITN IS FORMED FROM4 CHAINS OF LYSINE..
.IN OTHER WORDS.....
CLYDESDALES DONT HAVE THE TYPICAL WELL KNOWN SCRATCHES
MANY
OF US SEE IN LIGHT HORSE BREEDS.
MY QUARTER HORSES USED TO GET SCRATCHES ALL THE TIME,
nO BIG
DEAL.
THESE SCRATHES ARE MUCH DIFFERENT.
MUCH
MORE PERVASIVE AND DEADLY..
.WE UNDERSTAND CLYDES & SHIRES ARE PRONE TO THEM.
WE BELIEVE IT TO BE YES GENETIC.
IT IS
N-O-T CONTAGIOUS. NOT A FUNGUS...
WE BELIEVE WHEN THE HORSE GETS TO A
CERTAIN AGE,
USUALLY ABOUT 5
,THEIR BODIES SIMPLY QUIT PRODUCING IMPORTANT
AMINO ACIDS
AND NORMAL COMPOUNDS tHAT DIRECTLY AFFECT THE
PRODUCTION OF HEALTHY SKIN.
WE THEREFORE....TREAT IT AS SUCH.
ANYBODY
IN YOUR FAMILY WITH A HISTORY OF
HERPES EXCEMA PSORIASIS OR SEVERE
BURNS
OR ANY SEVERE SKIN PROBLEMS ?
HOW DO THEY TREAT IT. THINK ABOUT IT ..
.L Y S I N E...
DESMOSINE IS MADE OF MANY THINGS.
THE MOST IMPORTANT
AND MOST INFLUENTIAL
IN OUR OPINION
IS L Y S I N E...
WE TREAT OUR HORSES WITH LARGE DOSES.
STARTING OUT LARGE AND GRADUALLY
REDUCING.
STAYING ON IT THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
 WE BELIEVE THE HORSE WILL CARRY
IT THEIR ENTIRE LIFE...
WE DO NOT SHAVE LEGS...
WE DO NOT USE PURE SULFUR.
only diluted.
WE BELIEVE THIS STINGS,
AND IRRITATES CAUSING PAIN AND LASHING OUT FROM THE HORSE,
WE BELIEVE
THIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO HEALING.
ANY STRESS IS DETRIMENTAL TO HEALING.
WE
BELIEVE IT IS NOT A FUNGUS.
THEIR BODIES SIMPLY QUIT PRODUCING IMPORTANT
AMINO ACIDS AND NORMAL COMPOUNDS
THAT DIRECTLY AFFECT THE PRODUCTION OF HEALTHY SKIN.
WE BELIEVE THE HORSE'S SYSTEM
SIMPLY QUITS PRODUCING
DESMOSINE
AT A CERTAIN AGE OF MATURITY AROUND 5.
WE BELIEVE IT
MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH
A GROWTH HORMONE
WHICH STOPS BEING PRODUCED AT THIS AGE.
WE BELIEVE
THERE IS N O EXTERNAL PARASITE TO TREAT,
NO FUNGUS.NO PARASITES.
THE
CAUSE WE BELIEVE, IS GENETIC SIMILAR TO PSORIASIS...
Y E S WE SHOW OUR HORSES WITH
SCRATCHES.
MOST PEOPLE C A N N O T TELL .
WE HAVE SEEN MANY
HORSES PUT DOWN BECAUSE OF THIS AWFUL DISEASE.
WE HAVE N E V E R SEEN A HORSE FULLY
RECOVER.
WE BELIEVE A VERY GOOD WORMING PROGRAM PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE.
WE
USE Z I M E C T R I N G O L D....
YOU MAY HEAR SOME PEOPLE SAY ...DUE TO THE EXTREME
HARSH CHEMICALS
IN THE WORMING MEDICINE,
IT KNOCKS THE HORSES' IMMUNE SYSTEM IN THE BUTT
AND
GIVES WAY TO A MORE AGGRESSIVE FLARE OF SCRATCHES....
WE ARE NOT SURE ABOUT THIS.
BOTH HAVE THEIR VALIDITY....
THERE WAS A DOCTOR IN THE LATE 80'S NAMED DR TONY STANDARD,
NOW
DEAD
WHO STUDIED THIS CONDITION, HE CALLED IT
PASTERN LEUKOCYTOCLASTIC VASCULITIS.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS CAUSED BY
MICROSCOPIC CHANGES TO THE BLOOD VESSELS
IN THE SKIN AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE BACK LEGS....
THE STUDY WAS LATER PICKED UP BY DR VERENA AFFOLTER ...
WHO AS FAR AS WE KNOW IS STILL
ON THE STUDY
BERKLY UC DAVIS AS FAR AS WE KNOW
UC BERCKLY IS STILL CONDUCTING AN ONGOING STUDY OF THIS
CONDITION.
WE WISH ANYONE WHO DEALS WITH THIS EVIL THE BEST OF LUCK AND
ALL THE PRAYERS IN THE WORLD...
our horses
ANY OF
OUR HORSES WITH SCRATCHES
WE HAVE A TWO HANDED APPROACH
. ... ON ONE HAND WE TREAT EXTERNALY... MEDICATED
SHAMPOOING EVERYDAY. ..
.WE SHAMPOO THE LEGS MANY TIMES.
WE SPEND ALOT OF TIME 10 MINUTES
SPRAYING
THE SCABS WITH THE SPRAYER HOSE ATTACHMENT.
WE TRY TO USE AS H O T OF WATER AS
THE HORSE WILL STAND FOR. .
..WE TRY TO LET THE WATER AND THE SPRAYING DO THE WORK OF SCAB REMOVAL
INSTEAD OF PICKING
AND PULLING THEM.
THEN SOAK THE LEGS IN SOAKING BOOTS... WATER SHAMPOO AND BIT OF BLEACH. ..
alternate with baby oil and listerine
.LET SOAK 30 MINUTES.
MAKE SURE FOOT IS CLEAN BEFORE YOU SOAK.
REMOVE
BOOTS...RINSE...APPLY HAIR CONDITIONER......
WE LIKE PANTENE.
SOMETIMES WE USE
WEEKLY A C I D I F I E D W A T E R TREATMENTS IN THE SOAKING BOOTS .
OUR MATURE
CLYDE TAKES DAVIS BOOT # 6...
THE LARGEST THEY MAKE
 
THERE IS A MACHINE that TAKES ORDINARY WATER AND
TURNS IT TO EITHER ACID OR ALKALINE WATER.
WE USE THE ALKALINE WATER TO DRINK.
WE
USE THE ACID WATER TO SOAK LEGS.
IF THE HORSE IS R E A L L Y BAD , WE WILL DO THIS EVERY
SINGLE DAY
TILL WE CAN CLEARLY SEE NICE PINK HEALTHY SKIN
AND BETTER HAIR RE-GROWTH.
WHEN WE REMOVE THE BOOTS, we KNOW THE LEGS ARE SORE ...IN THE WINTER...IF COLD AND
SNOWY ...
HAVE INDOOR SHELTER FOR TREATMENT.
WE BLOW DRY THE LEGS WITH A
BLOW DRYER NICE AND WARM.
G E N T L Y FLUFF THE HAIR TILL DRY.
WE GIVE LOTS OF TREATS and
an ALL OVER M A S S A G E
AND SCRATCHING SESSION.
tHIS WINS THEM OVER. THEY LOOK FORWARD
TO THIS PART.
SO INSTEAD OF BEING ALL CRABBY THEY ARE HAPPY AND RELAXED.
WE DO
TREATMENTS WITH LISTERINE AND BABY OIL especially IN THE WINTER .
WE REALLY TRY TO KEEP THE LEGS CLEAN
AND CALM .
SOAKING BOOTS...
WE GET THEM FROM A PLACE CALLED
THE HORSES HOOF
WE
HAVE FOUND SOAKING THE FEET IN EPSOM SALTS ALSO WORKS WELL.
IF SEVERE WE SOAK ONE HOUR ...LESS SEVERE
ONLY 30 MINUTES.
AFTER PULLING OFF THE BOOTS , LEGS WILL BE SORE...BE GENTLE...
RINSE...MOISTURISE AND BLOW
DRY.
WHEN WASHING...
WASH 3-6 TIMES WITH SOAP
PRIOR TO SOAKING.
aLWAYS WITH WARM WATER.
ALWAYS REMOVING SCABS A BIT MORE WITH EACH SHAMPOOING.
VERY GENTLY...
WE MAY EVEN
USE A SMALL BLACK HAIRCOMB TO REMOVE THE SCABS.
THEY CAN BE TOUGH TO REMOVE BECAUSE
THEY aCTUALLYFORM
AROUND THE HAIR FOLLICLES.
I ALWAYS FOLLOW UP THIS TREATMENT WITH
a NICE RUB OF PANTENE CONDITIONER.
NOT TOO MUCH NOT TOO GOOEY...IT REALLY SOFTENS THE SCABS.
ON THE OTHER HAND of our 2 handed approach,
WE WE ALSO TREAT INTERNALLY WITH FEED
ADDITIVES
1. GLANZEN from HORSETEC
2. PURE LYSINE
from UNITED VET
3 SOYBEAN MEAL from local feed store
4. ALFALFA CUBES ,PELLETS
OR HAY local feed store
5. GRAPE SEED EXTRACT OIL from meijers
6. NUTRENA
X T N special order from feed store
7. MSM from smartpack
8. METHIONINE
smartpack
9. vitiamin c smart pack
10. AMINO ACIDS SEE BELOW
LET S I T. THE OIL WILL HAVE TIME TO S O A K.
THE FLAVORS WILL HAVE TIME TO B L E N D THE HORSE WILL EAT
IT BETTER
NUTRENA XTN
GLANZEN
PURE LYSINE
SOYBEAN MEAL
SOYBEAN MEAL
SOYBEAN PELLETS OR HAY
SOYBEAN MEAL/OIL
ALFALFA PELLETS OR HAY
IN THE BEGINNING
WE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE THE DOSES OF
L Y S I N E
IF THE HORSE IS
HEAVILY SUFFERING FROM SCRATCHES..
LYSINE CANNOT
BE FULLY UTILIZED WITHOUT VIT C..
AS THEY GET BETTER YOU CAN CUT BACK.
after
about a year.
IT IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED DAILY DOSE ON
THE BACK OF THE BUCKET BECAUSE
IT WAS DESIGNED FOR A LIGHT HORSE AND YOU ARE USING IT ON A DRAFT.
A M I N O A C I D S
IMPORTANT... YOU NEED TO LEARN ABOUT THEM
SOME AMINO ACIDS THE
BODY CAN Y E S PRODUCE BY ITSELF
INSIDE THEIR OWN BODY NATURALLY
THESE ARE CALLED NON ESSENTIAL AMINO
ACIDS
IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL THAT YOU PROVIDE THESE FOR YOUR HORSE
THERE ARE 11
1. LANINE
2. ASPARACID
3. L-CANITE
4. CYSTINE
5. GLYCINE GLUTAMIC ACID
6. HISTIDINE ORNITHINE
7. ORNITHINE ALOHA KETOGLUTARATE
8. PROLINE
9. SERINE
10.TAURINE
11. TYROSINE
SOME AMINOS THE HORSE CANNOT MAKE IN THEIR
BODY ...THESE ARE CALLED
ESSENTIAL AMINO
ACIDS
IT IS ESSENTIAL YOU PROVIDE THESE FOR
YOUR HORSE...
THERE ARE 6 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
1. LYSINE
2. VALINE
3. METHIONINE
4. TRYPTOPHAN
5. PHENALALINE
6. LUCIEN
AMINOS THAT DIRECTLY AFFECT THE S K I N ARE
:
LYSINE - DEVELOPMENT OF COLLOGEN , BODY CANNOT MAKE
VALINE -
WOUND HEALING/NEW TISSUE. BODY CANNOT MAKE
METHIONINE- SKIN AND TISSUE HEALTH. BODY CANNOT MAKE
LUCIEN GLUCOSE-WOUND HEALING . BODY CANNOT MAKE
HIGHEST SOURCES oF LYSINE ARE:
SOYBEAN MEAL AND ALFALFA...
WE FEED BOTH... IMPORTANT AMINOS FOR SKIN
THREONINE
IMPORTANT INGREDIENT
OF COLLAGEN
L-CARNITE
SYNTHESISES FROM LYSINE AND METHIONINE
PROLINE
INCORPORATES COLLAGEN...NON ESSENTIAL AMINO ACID
BUT THE BODY D O E S REQUIRE IT FOR COLLAGEN PRODUCTION-
ONLY EFFECTIVE
IF USED W/VIT C
ARGANINE WOUND HEALING, FIGHT
BACTERIA, TISSUE REPAIR
LAMINE-X BEST SUPPLEMENT
ANTIOXIDANTS
IMPORTANT ..NEUTRALIZE FREE RADICALS
PREVENT OXIDATIVE DAMAGE TO ALL CELLS AND TISSUES
IN OTHER WORDS
THEY ARE THE GARBAGE GUYS...
THEY TAKE AWAY GARBAGE
IN THE NATURAL WORKING OF EACH CELLS
PRODUCE A BY-PRODUCT
LIKE THE EXHAUST OF YOUR CAR
THIS POLLUTION IS FREE RADICALS...ANTIOXIDANTS REMOVE
THEM
ANTIOXIDANTS CAN PREVENT EVEN CURE MANY CONDITIONS
ALFALFA
IMPORTANT BECAUSE
IT CONTAINS ALL 8 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS
RE-READ THE ABOVE SENTENCE
BIOFLAVINOIDS
IMPROVE ABSORPTION
OF VIT C THEREFORE IMPORTANT IN FORMATION AND MAINTENANCE OF
COLLAGEN
NO COLLAGEN ...NO
HEALTHY SKIN
CHOLINE
INGREDIENT
OF LIPIDS THAT MAKE UP THE CELL MEMBRANES
COLLAGEN
CRUCIAL FIBROUS PROTEIN FOUND IN CARTILAGE BONES TENDONS AND
CONNECTIVE TISSUES
A CEMENTING MATERIAL BETWEEN THE CELLS
COPPER
IMPORTANT FOR MAINTENANCE
OF ELASTIC CONNECTIVE
TISSUES AND COLLAGEN STABILIZATION
FREE
RADICALS
( WHAT ANTIOXIDANTS FIGHT) ARE BAD.
DURING THE NATURAL METABOLIC FUNCTION
OF THE BODY MANY CHEMICALS ARE FORMED.
AMONG THESE
ARE A GROUP REFERED TO AS
THE FREE RADICALS WHICH ARE HARMFUL.....
MOST OF THE MAJOR DISEASES
THAT KILL AND RUIN PEOPLES LIVES ..
DO THEIR DAMAGE BY MEANS OF FREE
RADICALS...
.THEY ARE CONSTANTLY ATTACKING THE
BODY'S PROTIENS, CARBS , FATS, DNA
AND CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE IF LEFT UNCHECKED.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
IS THE BEST ANTI-OXIDANT WE HAVE FOUND..800 % higher than vit c
VITAMIN A
AKA
PRO RETINAL A. ...AKA ..BETA CAROTINE ...FOR HEALTHY SKIN FUNCTIONS
LYSINE CANNOT BE FULL UTILIZED WITH
OUT VIT C
LYMPH GLANDS
YOU
MUST IMPROVE THE FUNCTION OF THE LYMPH VESSELS AND GLANDS TO AFFECT THE LEGS.
APPROPRIATE FUNCTION OF LYMPH
VESSELS IS DEPENDANT ON THE PRESENCE OF
VIABLE ELASTIN FIBERS...RESEARCH CONCERNING THIS AREA IS CALLED LYMPHOSCIENTOGRAPHY
CUTANEOUS DESMOSINE
IS
FOUND ONLY IN ELASTIN...CUTANEOUS DESMOSINE IS A CROSS LINKED AMINO ACID LIKE LYSINE.
THIS IS WHAT THE HORSES BODY STOPS

COLLOGEN IS AN ESSENTIAL
PROTEIN
IN OUR OPINION
COLLOGEN IS ONE OF THE THINGS THE HORSE NO LONGER IS
SUFFICIENTLY PRODUCING
WHEN THEY ARE SUFFERING FROM SCRATCHES.
THE HORSE MUST INCREASE LEVELS OF DESMOSINE, PROLINE, COLLAGEN, LYSINE
BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS
VALINE
ISOLEUCINE AND LEUCINE...THEY ARE ESSENTIAL PROTEIN BUILDING BLOCKS

OTHER
TIPS WHEN TREATING THE HORSE
AVOID....SCOLDING THE HORSE
WHEN YOU ARE RUBBING AND PICKING AT THE SCABS..
.YOU MUST REMEMBER HOW PAINFUL IT IS..
.ALWAYS USE A SHOEING STOCK AND TIE UP
APPROPRIATE FEET
UNLESS THE LEGS ARE JUST TOO SWOLLEN AND SORE...
HAVE PITY ON THE POOR THINGS...
PAIN
IS THE DETERRENT TO HEALING..
.RE-READ THE ABOVE SENTENCE.
..AVOID BEING KICKED IN HEAD
SOUNDS DUMB IN KNOW....
BUT WHEN YOU'RE CONCENTRATING ON THE SORES,
YOUR FACE NEED TO BE RIGHT DOWN THERE TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING
AND IT IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA
TO REMEMBER WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU
AVOID BLEEDING...
REMOVING THE SCABS IS NECESSARY BUT IT MUST MUST MUST BE DONE GENTLY...
DEPENDING ON HOW BAD THE HORSE
IS
MY TREATMENT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 30 MINUTES
TO 2 HOURS...
THIS IS DAILY WHEN THE HORSE IS REAL BAD
AVOID....USING PRODUCTS THAT IRRITATE
WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY HOME REMEDIES
THAT MAKE US REALLY
C R I N G E AT THE THOUGHT OF
WHAT IT MUST FEEL LIKE TO THE HORSE WHEN APPLIED...
ON
THE OTHER HAND SOME ARE WONDERFUL
PLEASE TAKE THEM ALL IN....
THINK OF WHAT THE HORSE IS FEELING...
BE
OPEN MINDED TO ALL OPTIONS
BE INVENTIVE...
IF YOU THINK OF SOMETHING AND YOU THINK IT
MIGHT WORK.
BY ALL MEANS TRY IT..
THERE ARE NEW HERBS
AND SUBSTANCES
COMING OUT ALL THE TIME
LET
US KNOW HOW IT WORKS
KEEP TRACK...
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU
DO AND WHEN YOU DO IT
AND HOW THE HORSE IS REACTING TO IT....
WHEN PEOPLE FIND OUT YOU ARE GOING
THRU THIS ....THEY WILL LOOK TO YOU FOR GUIDANCE...
ITS NICE TO GIVE THEM YOUR NOTES.....GIVE US YOUR NOTES TO POST
HERE..
MAKE SURE ALL VACCINATIONS ARE UP TO DATE..
TAKE PHOTOS EVERY WEEK OR SO...IT
IS EASY TO FORGET...
TAKE PHOTOS OF THE PRODUCTS YOU ARE USING
AND THE CONTAINERS THEY COME IN
AND THE
MANNER YOU APPLY THEM
AND HAVE A PHOTO OF YOU
ACTUALLY DOING
THE TREATMENTS, WASHINGS, ETC.
THIS DISEASE IS EVER CHANGING AND EVOLVING AND IS EFFECTED BY
THE
WEATHER, HORSES OVERALL HEALTH, AGE, STRESS LEVEL, LIVING ENVIRONMENT
AND BREEDING...
IT IS UNPREDICTABLE AND DISHEARTENING TO SAY THE LEAST
