My OH's horse is a big 14 year old cob, very good doer, shiny coat, picture of health apart from an old ligament injury and the odd bit of creaking here and there, he's very lightly used as a hack. He used to be on full livery and be a dressage horse and now lives out all year - yet he's always had this dandruffy type skin flaking going on - I can just keep brushing and brushing and it keeps coming...he rolls a lot and rubs himself on anything that stands still long enough a judging by the hair on the shelter - so guess this might mean he must feel fairly itchy?? He's got no signs of any nasties, baldy bits, no sores, cuts weeping/redness etc so don't think it's serious as such, but obviously if there's a way of making him more comfortable I'd like to try?!
Is this just how he is and nothing I can do or is there a supplement that might help - without putting weight on him?
