Oh Crap - Rug Rub

[Flipo's Mum]

Ok, I've been left in charge of mate's horse for a long weekend and I'm panicking as his new rug has rubbed his shoulder quite badly. It's my fault as I left him overnight not realising a tiny bit at the front had folded itself back in on itself. I sorted it yesterday morning but look at this -

Yeah it would be fine as not hurting him but she's got a show next Saturday - that's not gonna heal by then is it - can I do anything to help it along?
Am going to have to admit to it but so annoyed at myself.

Chalk powder for show day has he got another rug to put on him?

I will be buying some then, thanks Clare. Yeah, I've changed his rug today, put on the black under vest thingy. He's only had this new rug a week or so and I commented that it folded in at the front a bit before mate left. She said 'oh yeah it did that once and then I realised there was a bit of velcro not done up properly which stopped it from happening'. She said you don't need his vest underneath because it doesn't rub. Can't believe I can't even put a rug on properly. :cry: I'm such a perfectionist, I have been checking on him four times a day in all this horrible weather, I would hate for something to happen while she's away.
I know in the scheme of things its cosmetic but :stomp:.

A tip I was once given by a showing diva - get some HC45 cream from boots - its the hydrocortisone cream for eczema. Its behind the counter, you have to say its for your partner/child who has eczema, and yes they have used it before. It does help to speed up hair re-growth, but not sure if it would work in a week! might get some fuzz back by then.
