Have you sorted the cause of the itching, could be lice or a fungal infection. For lice you'll need to buy the appropriate louse powder, if fungal then bath horse with Nizoral shampoo, paying particular attention to the rubbed areas. Nizoral can be bought from a chemists. Dilute with hand hot water, work well in, leave 20 mins before rinsing off.

To get hair to regrow you can't beat Cornucrescene it's main purpose is to use on the coronary band to encourage hoof growth but it also works just as well for hair, and your own finger nails.

Have had the same problem with my mare for months but have now solved it by using Alphosyl 2 in 1 Shampoo from chemists. It's for itchy scalps. It has made a huge difference. The best I found for regrowth is http://shapleys.com/products-2/original-mtg-2/. But it's really greasy. So now I don't bother. Stop the itching and it will grow on it's own

I changed my horses diet to help his feet and sweet itch. One thing I have noticed is just how quickly his coat and feet grow now. I think its probably a better diet in the main, but I also think adding linseed has really helped with coat condition and hair/hoof growth
