I have a show in two days, my quarter horse basically skinned a large chunk of his beautiful blaze. Any tips on covering that up a bit so he looks cuter in the show ring? I've heard of baby powder. I don't have time to get the coat spray stuff. Thank you, anything helps!!

Oh yikes!

zippy doesn't have any facial markings and tends to avoid injury so i unfortunately don't have any advice to give, but I'm glad it's nothing more serious. I wish you luck in finding something to help!

Thank you, the bugs are so terrible the horses are itching on everything, and unfortunately some of those things aren't their best decisions

I'm really not sure what to do.

For future reference I'm not sure if you use a fly mask but especially the ones with ears are lifesavers. I hate pulling bugs out of Zippy's ears

Baby powder might be worth a shot, or they have chalk for white markings. I'm not sure how well that would work on his face- it's usually for leg markings- but I'd try it before the show just to make sure.

If not, then just show the judge that you can outride everybody else, regardless of your horse's face xD

White face paint from a costume/party store?

Do you have a Tractor supply by you? I'd recommend using this Alu shield (It works, I use it on my mares) and then covering with white powder.
This way the powder won't get into the cut and irritate it even more.

The Alu shield comes out silver, but it it's easy to cover up, cleans the cut, helps wounds heal, and acts as a liquid bandage.

This is how it looks. It can come off with warm, soapy water.

Ive covered up the scars on my horses legs with baby diaper cream, but I'm not sure how well it would work on the face. You could also put a thin layer of desitin on the cover it with baby powder

They usually wear fly masks but I was gone for the weekend, and we remove big garb to reduce injuries, lol.
