Just a few ideas needed. I have a dear little Dartmoor pony that used to be my sons and is now a companion for my ridden. I’ve had him 9 years, he’s now 18. I totally adore him but his sweet itch is getting worse year after year. I’ve tried all manner of lotions, potions, antihistamines, rug, no rug you name it!!
Now the problem I have with management is, he actually is fine out in field (fully electrified so can’t itch on post and rail) , with a sweet itch rug on and cream once a day. But what do people do if the come into stable?? He literally runs on all the walls and especially reverses into the door to scratch tail, either shredding his rug , or if not on, his dock!
Is this normal?? What can I do, if anything??
