Grooming is making it worse! Thought it would get worse then get better, but two hours later its just as bad...

Mine wasn't clipped, or rugged. Lesson learnt!!! next year he can expect to be naked and rugged up to the eyeballs!

I have used a bottle (500ml ) of cider vinegar, to a 15 litre tub of warm water to dilute it, and used that as a rinse after shampoo. My old guy isn't clipped ( because he hate hate hates rugs with a passion, and I would rather keep him happy and warm, than clipped and rugged, even though its a PITA ! ) so each spring I wear an attractive boiler suit and attack him with a furminator, then the hose pipe, shampoo, fingers, hosepipe, shampoo, fingers, hosepipe, vinegar mix rinse, hosepipe.... and repeat x2 about 4 days apart, and fluffy "welsh B living wild on the moors " looking pony suddenly becomes sleek arab again.

Rubber curry comb used in circular motions on a dry coat, and then a good bath. Remember though, grease is a horses natural protection against the elements, so dont be too quick to try and eliminate it.

I use oil in my pony's mane for his sweet itch, to get rid of the build up I use Dermoline insecticidal shampoo
