A Fresh Start For Toby
Horse: Toby | Breed: Thoroughbred | Age: 3 | Owner: Amanda
Every horse deserves a second chance - and for Toby, that chance came in June 2026, when Amanda decided to bring him home.
A young Thoroughbred who had been in training but never made it to the racecourse, Toby wasn't in the best shape when Amanda found him. He was in poor condition, and the skin on his back was flaky and sensitive to touch.
"I bought him in June this year as I felt sorry for him," Amanda remembers. "He had areas of dry, crusted skin across his back and was in poor condition."
Amanda knew Toby would need gentle, patient care and plenty of time.

Finding the Right Routine
Amanda added Mudbar Plus to Toby's daily grooming routine. With his sensitivity to touch, she wanted something easy to work with, and its soft, smooth texture meant she could apply it generously without upsetting him. Mudbar Plus is a dual-action cream that forms a protective, water-resistant layer while supporting the skin's natural healing process.

Amanda stayed consistent, and she noticed the dry, crusty areas on his back begin to soften and lift away naturally, leaving smoother-looking skin underneath.
The Change Begins
The results didn't take long to show: the crusted patches were noticeably less apparent within days. Over the following weeks, new hair began to grow - and Toby seemed more comfortable and happier in himself, too.
With continued use, his coat condition just kept visibly improving, week after week, until his transformation reached a point Amanda hadn't expected so soon.
"Now you wouldn't know he had any skin issues."
Amanda's Verdict
Asked to describe her experience with Mudbar Plus in just one word, Amanda didn't have to think twice:
"Amazing."
From a difficult start to a healthy, happy horse, Toby's journey is a reminder of what's possible with the right skin care and a consistent routine, and why Mudbar Plus has become a trusted part of many stories like his.
