My horse is losing his tail

[madhector]

Jerry arrived with a beautiful tail, and I noticed that he started to rub it a little, he seems to be itching his bottom rather than his tail, and it just gets in the way, when he travels he sits on the back bar on the way there (never on the way home for some reason) and I have noticed that the skin is a little flaky around that area. Problem is I dont know what to do about it, I can protect his tail whilst travelling, but not his bum bless him, and he has now rubbed out most of the top of his tail (save me pulling it

) so dont want him to lose anymore

Any suggestions? Hva been putting green oils on the flaky skin, but doesnt seem to stop the itching.

Help, or I will end up with a horse with no tail
