When your horse gets a wound, the body immediately starts working to repair the damage.
As part of the natural healing process, inflammation produces a clear yellow fluid called exudate. This fluid helps keep the wound moist and provides nutrients that support the growth of new skin cells.
As healing continues, new blood vessels develop and epithelial cells begin to form around the edges of the wound, helping the skin gradually close and repair itself. If the wound is allowed to dry, a scab may form to protect the area.
Once a new layer of skin has developed underneath, the scab will naturally fall away — sometimes leaving a small scar behind.
Supporting proper wound care can help ensure the healing process runs smoothly and speeds up recovery.
