Equine rain rot is one of the more common skin infections afflicting horses exposed to long periods of moisture. Dry climates such as Arizona do not see much occurrence of rain rot.
A horse that catches rain rot will develop a series of crusty scabs and matted tufts of hair. When the matted hair is pulled off, pink skin laced with some pus is generally exposed. Rain rot is contagious and is generally transmitted by shared horse blankets or mutual rubbing posts such as a fence post.
