Any idea what would cause the skin on my horses belly just in front of her teats ( going about a quarter of the way along her belly) to go dry and flakey?

Sure it's dry skin and not dried sweat?

That's a good point lol. Her coat is really shiny everywhere else so did seem odd ?

I've got a little mare exactly the same at the moment, and she's frantic with the itchiness. I had the vet take a look and she wasn't at all concerned. I've treated with a spot on for ticks and lice, and also fipronil for lice (neither made any difference)
I've had mine clipped (she was crazy hairy), and I've been trying to give her a bath using dermol shampoo about once a fortnight (I hope this isn't too much or too little!), and I've been smothering it with sudocreme to try and soothe it a bit ? It's definitely less flaky, but it's still bothering her.
