center of each one was a big round black dot. I told my husband it
was bubonic plague. It
right now my horses have something weird! I am familiar with most
types of rainrot, but this is little, small, like pencil eraser sized
nubby bumps and so far the hair isnt falling out but if you scratch it
with your fingernail it comes off easily and is like scaley dust. And

a good way to apply is to take a syringe and put the medicine,
whatever you use, and put the needle barely in the cracks and squirt
real forcefully and get it all up in there. Is exspecially good if
you have some hoof wall separation. or you could make them stand the
