Before I set off to see if it is really so serious, is there anything I can make of use from home till tomorrow? I have antihistamines tablets?
Just been informed by text that my horse is scratching her tail off?

Wash the tail, help soothe the itch and soreness, apply sudocrem to any really sore bits and fly spray

Anything oily, vaseline, baby oil, even veg oil at a push. I know some will mention sunburn but the tail area isn't too vulnerable unless he/her has rubbed it raw. You need to stop the munching barstewards from getting to the skin. Garlic if you have cloves you can crush into a paste.
For a repellant, Avon Skin So Soft, Neem oil, garlic, citronella, eucalyptus.
I got to the paddock tonight to find my Missy had a bit of a bog brush look going on. Friend 'did' her yesterday
. I stress how important it is to really rub everything in to the skin and make sure she is well covered. She has been well slathered today.
Thats what you need to do now before he/she gets into the vicious cycle.

Probably not the case but Pinworm if rife this year and one of the signs is rubbing their backsides...continuously
