Need some ideas for the best way to remove stubborn bot eggs. I've tried grooming block, single and double bladed razors, and I still can't get rid of the stubborn things. My mares shoulders are covered with them :(
 
i used to pick them off every morning while my horses ate their breakfast ,i think a bot knife was ok but i ended up using my nails -for me that worked best
 
I got a bot egg removing knife, its works really well and makes it much quicker and easier to remove the eggs. I think it was from equestrian clearance.
 
Defo use a bot knife. Much easier than a razor, and like previous post picking them off with your fingers for the stubborn ones.
