Ema Klugman and MasterMudd™: An Eventer’s Routine

For Ema Klugman, the work continues after the jumping or galloping session ends. In the 2025 Draw It Out® catalog, she described how MasterMudd™ fits the next step for her three-day event horses, from application that evening to care the following day.

An eventing program built horse by horse

Ema’s official biography traces a path from Pony Club in Nairobi, Kenya, to international five-star eventing. She produced Bendigo and Bronte Beach through the levels, completed the Kentucky Three-Day Event with both horses, and earned three A-level United States Pony Club ratings in traditional, show jumping, and dressage.

That background gives useful context to the routine she shared with Draw It Out®. Eventing asks the same horse to prepare for dressage, cross-country, and show jumping, so post-work care must fit both the training calendar and the individual horse.

Ema’s MasterMudd™ routine

In the 2025 Draw It Out® catalog, Ema explained:

“We use MasterMudd on our three-day event horses regularly. After a jumping or galloping session and especially after a competition, we apply the Mudd to the front legs liberally, ensuring a thick layer over the tendons and ligaments down the back of the leg.”

She also described the next step: removing the dried product with a curry comb or stiff brush the following day. At home, horses can be turned out with the product on. At competitions, she has used standing bandages over it in the stall.

Match the routine to the setting

MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ is a pumpable clay brace for topical use. Follow the current label, apply only to intact skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. Bandaging choices should match the product directions, the horse, and experienced veterinary or barn guidance.

Competition responsibility

Riders remain responsible for the current rules of the event, organization, and jurisdiction. A rider testimonial describes personal practice and does not replace veterinary evaluation.

From the barn: Ema’s routine is valuable because it is concrete: when she uses MasterMudd™, where she applies it, and how the next day’s care changes between turnout and a competition stall.
