Here you can read more about possible causes, how to recognise the condition, and ways to look after and support your skin properly.
Causes of muck
Mug is caused by a combination of factors, including:
• Damp conditions, such as muddy pastures or wet stables
• Irritation caused by insect bites or rubbing against objects
• A weakened immune system
• Genetic predisposition
Symptoms of mug and rasp

• Itching or stamping behaviour, where horses kick or bite at their legs
• Scabs and sores that feel moist or painful

The sooner you recognise these signs, the better you can care for and support your skin.
