Eliminating greasy heel in horses

One of my mares is prone to greasy heel a dermatitis-like skin lesion that is usually caused by the same bacteria that results in rainscald, typically affecting the heels and the back of pasterns. This subsequently attracts flies and has the risk of infection.

I apply Purification which disinfects and cleanses the lesion and also repels the flies (for up 12 - 24 hours. I also apply Thieves for its antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-infectious properties. This works well to aid prompt healing and minimize swelling/lameness which can result from greasy heel.
