    Horse itching all year round

    My mare has been itching for over a year now. Vet has been and of only supplying ‘soothing’ shampoos which are doing nothing. He’s reluctant to give her an injection as she’s haflinger and he said it’s been known to trigger laminitis. Any ideas of what I can try? Already done antihistamines (in...
