Has anyone had a horse that has had an infected hair follicle or follicular dysplaysia? Just wondering what causes it and if it's something that is a recurrent problem for horses once they have had it? Thanks 😀

Really appreciate all the kind replies with ideas and experiences. We are moving to our permanent yard in 2 weeks and they have great facilities and quieter hacking so hopefully he can get settled. There's only going to be 7 horses stabled at the yard and so it will be quieter. I will be...
