So today I was brushing the horse and noticed that down his neck, chest and girth area he has all sorts of crusty bumps. I picked them off, washed it and put some medicine on it.
Is this normal for horses who are turned out 24/7? Do your horses ever get anything similar? I've never seen this on him before so it worried me.
Also, what type of fly spray do you all use? Whatever I have just doesn't seem to be working, but at this point I'm convinced that none of it works.
One last question (I didn't want to create a new thread) - can anyone give me a tentative schedule of some of the local horsey events, such as trail rides and other fun things? I'm going to MW and Freestate but I'd like to get Mocha out on trails more. Maybe if you all go out on weekdays or something? He's a lovely boy, however he MUST lead or he throws a fit for the entire ride and I feel that the only way to fix this is to get him out with other horses and give him more trail miles.
