For those of you with traditional feathered horses two questions.1 - if they are traditional horses, with natural feathers why i why are they so much of a pain for a horse to live with :( he also has a few sores under the feathers. 2- Summer time itching! his legs are soooooo itchy, what can i try?He has had detromax injections but didn't really see any difference. I have also tried the following--pesky pesk wash-anti itch shampoo-pig oil (can use this in summer)-stinky stuff-feather mite powder-fly shampoos-insect repellentsJust this morning i have put some Front line spot on on his legs and dock to see if they does anything. I'm not sure what else is left to try? I really dont want to clip him, not because i like them but because i know he will hate having them clipped, will need a very strong sedation and if clipping doesnt work he will then be able to rub his legs raw without the protection of the feathers. Is it possibe to cut them with scissors to thin them or will this always end in disaster?
