Tesco's Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner, only about £1 aswell. Use it a couple of times at first and then about once a month after that. Its worked a treat for me

I had that with benzyl benzoate, on some horses it causes the skin to slough off. You cant stop it happeng as its just dead skin. Lots of grooming will help to get rid of the flakes and perhaps massaging some oil or conditioner to keep the skin moisturised should help. The thing is you need to decide is- sweet itch or flaking skin - I know what I would prefer.

i just rubbed vasaline into my mares tail after it went dry after using louse shampoo (no, my horse didnt have any!! but horses that moved on where riddled in them so thought best to prevent rather than cure!!) after a couple of days her tail was back to normal!!, i have never used benzyl benzoate as never had need but a friend did and it worked wonders on her horse!
