Barry Pro Tip 7

By Lisa Barry, FEI 3* Rider and Trainer

Try adding 3 or 4 packets of powdered dexamethasone to a normal sized jar of Corona® ointment. It will take care of it in a jiffy! Secondary fix: Use Fura-Zone ointment and 40% Desitin® cream. Mix in a 1:1 ratio for a similar result on horses that shouldn’t be exposed to steroids.

NOTE: Dexamethasone isn’t legal in competition so make sure to avoid or discontinue this wonder cream at least 24 hours prior to competing nationally and a week internationally.
