Pro-Equine Mud Bug Buster – Waterproof Antibacterial Barrier Ointment, 300g

Pro-Equine Mud Bug Buster – 300g

Mud Bug Buster is a long-lasting waterproof paste that Pro-Equine describe as creating a 24-hour barrier from the elements. The selling point is that it needs no washing or scrubbing to work — you put it on dry legs, the horse goes out, and the mud does not get to the skin underneath.

Neem and natural resins from Sumatra do the barrier work, with aloe vera alongside them, and Pro-Equine say the paste softens scabs so they lift away to leave clean skin beneath. They describe it as non-irritating, which is what makes it usable on white socks and other thin-skinned areas that react to a harsher barrier cream.
