My horse has started itching her mane and tail so thinking it is sweet itch. Has anybody got and good recommendations to for sweet itch.
Ditto all the above advice.
Avoid sugar/mollasses as far as possible, think "sweet" itch; which is why the problem seems to be worse on rich grass which will be very sweet at this time of year (also good to avoid for laminitis too.......).
Ditto covering up. Be careful of pig oil with sulphur though, can affect sensitive skins. Midges hate alighting on oily skin, so anything you can put on that's oily is good.
