How can I explain this? My gelding gets many cuts and scrapes on his hocks. Why? I have know clue, but I think it is because he lies down and gets up alot. He is REALLY lazy and would perfer to sleep all day. Anyways, I need a solution fast because I compete him in the hunter ring and I don't want to go in with his hocks all gross. My trainer has suggested cleaning his hocks and then putting
Swat on the cuts. Sadly this only worked until about a week and a half ago. Please I need a solution right now, because I go to a show in a week. HELP!!!!!

Thanks
