scratches

An equine fungal infection that affects horses with white feet. It causes lesions that look like a lot of little scratches that ooze and turn crusty.

Contracted from standing in boggy or wet ground for long periods of time.

"Look at how crusty that pony's feet are-- he's got scratches!"

"Better treat his scratches now or they'll only get worse."
