I usually make my own or use Equiderma brand which is also another great company . At any rate It was a super hot summer 2025 so I was hosing my horses down with cold water almost daily and then spraying them done w this fly spray . Long story short both horses lost a lot of their fur and their skin became very red , swollen and inflamed . It looked like rain rot but way worse . It was really bad and scary not knowing what the cause was . I was able to figure out the issue when my sister had the very same issue with her horses from using the Fly Bye so be careful with Fly Bye brand fly spray . It’s not all an all natural Fly spray as touted . Thank God I found the Coat Defense products here on desertcart !! I first used the Coat Defense spot Drying Paste which worked extremely quickly like the next day I found a huge difference in healing. I also used the powder by Coat Defense as a preventative to help keep the skin /fur dry and prevent the issue from spreading which this particular condition liked to do . This stuff is amazing ! I have recommended this product to all of my horsey friends and always keep it on hand for emergency use . Another product I have just recently used from this same company is their Horse shampoo . I bought it for myself because the ingredients are so clean …better than most people shampoos. I have only used it once but I really liked it . Didn’t need conditioner afterwards . All of the products smell amazing too. I can’t recommend this product line enough ! Review: The results will have your flabbers gasted. - Best equine product out there hands down. The paste fixed my geldings chronic scratches/keratitis. And it's so easy to use! I cleaned his legs gently with chorohexidine the first time and then caked this on and every time it dried or got flakey added another layer of it. Once in a while I'd gently wash it off and be flabbergasted by the results. Absolutely a staple in my barn. ## Features - Acts like a poultice for horses, but Coat Defense wound care for horses paste can be used on broken skin & helps with insect bites, scratches, wounds, proud flesh, and summer sores treatment. - Itch horse care caused by insect bites, sweet itch, inflammation and cellulitis. - Unlike most wound repair ointment products, our horse drying paste is not wet and does not promote proud flesh. - Our horse wound care paste creates a barrier between insects and horses’ skin. - Coat Defense for Horses alleviates summer sores by drawing moisture larvae need to survive. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,508 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** COAT DEFENSE - **Breed Recommendation:** Small Breeds - **Minimum Weight Recommendation:** 10 Ounces - **Occasion:** Birthday, Holiday, New Year, Thanksgiving - **Size:** 10 Oz ## Images ![COAT DEFENSE Trouble Spot Drying Paste for Horses - Natural Equine Wound Care That Provides Safe & Effective Relief from Scratches, Sweet Itch, Summer Sores, Proud Flesh, Mud Fever, Girth Rot (10 Oz) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614EqkDlrGL.jpg) ![COAT DEFENSE Trouble Spot Drying Paste for Horses - Natural Equine Wound Care That Provides Safe & Effective Relief from Scratches, Sweet Itch, Summer Sores, Proud Flesh, Mud Fever, Girth Rot (10 Oz) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fSeTXgeuL.jpg) ![COAT DEFENSE Trouble Spot Drying Paste for Horses - Natural Equine Wound Care That Provides Safe & Effective Relief from Scratches, Sweet Itch, Summer Sores, Proud Flesh, Mud Fever, Girth Rot (10 Oz) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61edNou9PbL.jpg) ![COAT DEFENSE Trouble Spot Drying Paste for Horses - Natural Equine Wound Care That Provides Safe & Effective Relief from Scratches, Sweet Itch, Summer Sores, Proud Flesh, Mud Fever, Girth Rot (10 Oz) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71dKvuk54pL.jpg) ![COAT DEFENSE Trouble Spot Drying Paste for Horses - Natural Equine Wound Care That Provides Safe & Effective Relief from Scratches, Sweet Itch, Summer Sores, Proud Flesh, Mud Fever, Girth Rot (10 Oz) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/817wg3VEwQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How often do you apply for scratches?** A: Keep a layer on the affected area at all times until healed, the scab severity will determine how often you must apply. If the scabs are thick and severe, you may need to use coconut oil-soaked cotton balls on the area and wrap overnight to soften to gently assist in their release without causing your horse injury. This process may need to be repeated several times in order to sufficiently soften and released the scabs. Once this has been done, apply Coat Defense Paste to complete the healing process. **Q: Does this help with hock sores?** A: Yes, it will help heal the sores. But the only way to avoid them is to use shavings, add soft ground where your horse rolls and lays down or use hock socks. Otherwise, the sores will never heal and will only get worse. **Q: Why does it say country of origin: china, yet the description states made in usa. which is it?** A: Amazon bot combined the bullets points from some unknown source leading to incorrect info. Try as we might, we can't get Amazon to change the misleading info for this listing. Bottom line: Coat Defense Paste and Powder is proudly made in the USA. **Q: How is it applied?** A: You simply dab it on a problem spot OR smear it onto larger areas. It’s safe to touch, so no gloves required. Very pleasant product & unlike most topicals, it really stays on - even for days- unless you want to remove with a little water. Wonderful stuff!! Just bought first jar & have used it on nicks, an area on the side of my horse’s face he had itched to a raw angry state and it’s soothing! Just started applying to his heel bulbs where he gets scaley this time of year. It’s helping those as well! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Healing Clay Ever !! *by O***A on May 26, 2026* This product really saved me last summer when both of my horses got a horrible skin condition from using a “ So Called “ All Natural fly spray .

I cleaned his legs gently with chorohexidine the first time and then caked this on and every time it dried or got flakey added another layer of it.

I'm been trying for 6 weeks to heal my Gypsy- cross scratches on his lower leg. ( Hiding in his feather) I've tried multiple things, but it was always one step forward 2 steps back. Until out of frustration I opened my jar of the paste that I already had and wow, first day, great improvement, it took the redness away. My horse was no longer using his other leg to scratch the itch Next day, looked darker, no bright pink skin, no sign of inflammation. Now a week in, his hair is returning. Please do not stop making this!!! Gypsy's are prone to this problem. I never will go without. I plan to use the powder (which is so AWESOME) as maintenance and going to shoot for washing his lower legs weekly with medicated spray on shampoo ( I'm told you should make sure the feather is dried well afterwards ( not let drip dry) to avoid moisture setting in the area. ## Frequently Bought Together - COAT DEFENSE Trouble Spot Drying Paste for Horses - Natural Equine Wound Care That Provides Safe & Effective Relief from Scratches, Sweet Itch, Summer Sores, Proud Flesh, Mud Fever, Girth Rot (10 Oz) - COAT DEFENSE Daily Preventative Powder for Horses - Safe & Effective Equine Skin Conditioner Sweet Itch, Skin Funk, & Rain Rot - Dry Horse Shampoo, 16 oz Formula with All Natural Ingredients - COAT DEFENSE Sensitive Skin Shampoo for Horses | All-Natural & Made in USA | Hypoallergenic Aloe Based - Soothes and Relieves Itchy, Dry and Inflamed Skin | Safe for Everyone | 8oz.
