| From your local grocery store, drug store, feed store...
These are things I have done/used
For Cinch Rot and possibly rain rot you can use over the counter Athlete's Foot aerosol spray. Used to use Captan (for plants/roses/fungus) but much easier to run to a drug store for Athlete's Foot spray! Have never had one with rain rot tho!
I like Ickmathol for hoof abscesses (after epson salt soak) and use a diaper vet wrap and duct tape.
Cowboy Magic works just like the Freeze-Ease/Frizz Serum products but I find that Cowboy Magic a better price. I use the Cowboy Magic detangler on burrs in the manes/tails. If I feel cowboy Magic is too drying, I just spray baby oil/conditioner/showsheen into the tails/manes. They will get dirty, but helps dry brittle manes stay soft.
Baby oil and Dawn (soap) will take Tarweed off - use a wash cloth and smooth it on- let sit for a few minutes
OXY Clean (powder) will bring out your white tails... then condition well!
WD 40 for tree sap removal
Hard to brush tails... use Cowboy magic as a conditioner and wash out, then reapply and brush from bottom up.
For fun and maybe you already know these-- but please share your own ideas!
Its amazing what you can fix with duct tape/electrical tape and zip ties. (for tack anyhow!)
Pressure wash your blankets to save your washing machine
did you know bailing twine will cut bailing twine--- without a knife... you can see-saw bailing twine to open your hay bales!
can't think of everything now.. but please share your ideas.

Location: Bluegrass | Not sure about baking soda and ulcers. Maybe it balances Ph levels? My favorite fix for ulcers is aloe vera juice. A few ounces top dressed daily on the feed has given me great results. It's a race track thing. AV juice is in the herbal section at Walmart. Can find or order it at most drug stores but typically that's more expensive than at wally world.
PS : Some holistic docs suggest AV to their human patients. |

Location: somewhere in the middle | When I was a kid I can remember the 'old timers' using baking soda for ulcers and respiratory issues. I can remember my grandpa who was born in 1907 telling me that's what his grandpa aIways used. I know the amish people around here use it for a lot of things horse and human. |

| For all the fly issues...has anyone had success with feeding garlic and/or vinegar to keep the flies away? Seems to work for me but I am located in WA and I don't think our flies are as vicious as those in the southern states...
PS. I love this thread, I am learning SO MUCH! |

| My own recipie for Rain Rot is 1/3 part MTG and 2/3 parts Original Listerine. In the summer I use another version of this for fly spray and to keep the coat soft and shiny. That would be 1/5 MTG 1/5 Skin So Soft and 3/5 Original Listerine. |

| For abscesses we took a horse to the vet the other day and he wrapped it up with axle grease for three days, the horse could walk.
warts on the muzzle- corona will take them right off.
home made fly spray- 1/4 cup citronella oil, 1/4 cup skin so soft, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, rest water- better than any fly spray on the market!!! |

If you are talking about the baby oil, listerene, conditioner mix... I use the green listerene. If you are worried about the color, my mare has a white mane and tail and if anything it brightened her mane.
I also add fabric softener too, only because when I got to the store I couldn't remember if I needed fabric softener or not... so I got it, then didn't want to waste it so I put some in anyway. |

| I don't know if anyone is interested but a great cure for scratches is hemorrhoidal ointment. I had been working with my vet and could not get them to heal up. I read somewhere to use hemorrhoidal ointment and it was just a matter of days and the scratches were healed up, GONE. Never had a problem before, but a couple of years ago we had a very wet year, so the pasture was always wet and my gelding developed scratches. Also when you apply the ointment, try to keep your horse in a dry area. |

| hemorrhoid Ointment works on cinch sores also. I have a mare 3 vets told me she had scratches, turned out she is allergic to Alsike clover and sunlight. I spent over a thousand dollars hauling her places and trying everything. Didn't let her out on rainy days, or till after the grass was dry in the morning. the rash usually started in summer and always cleared up in the fall. |
