Shapley's Original M-T-G

For the horse that comes in with a warm, crusty patch across his back after a wet week, or the one rubbing his mane down to stubble on the fence. M-T-G is an oil-based product made for the spots that give horse owners trouble: rain rot, scratches, girth itch, sweet itch, dry skin, tail and mane rubbing and other dermatitis problems.

It goes after skin healing and hair growth at the same time, and leaves a barrier against the weather while the skin underneath stays conditioned. There is no washing off between applications, so it slides into the grooming you already do instead of adding a bath to your day. Made in the U.S.A.

Good to know

• Worth keeping on the shelf through the wet months, when rain rot and scratches get a foothold on a horse that lives out.
• Since it stays on between applications, you can dab it on during a regular groom rather than blocking out time for a bath.
• Work on the spot and keep watching it. A skin problem that keeps spreading or does not improve is a call to your vet.

Wet weather is when rain rot and scratches take hold. Have a bottle on hand before the first soggy week.
