Tips
You can help your horse more extensively:
-
avoid letting your
horse graze in the early morning and evening hours.
-
avoid pastures situated close to slowly flowing or standing waters. (here is a
very high population of
mosquitoes)
-
avoid an oversupply with protein. (try to find out if the quantity of fodder
your horse gets is really necessary)
-
you should prefer pastures that are used extensively. (a low content of
protein in the grass and valuable herbs)
-
you should prefer pastures where there is wind or which are situated in an
higher situated area. (lower population of mosquitoes)
Not
all this advice is feasible of course, but every additional measure you take
is an additional help for your bothered horse. But we do agree about one thing.
A horse with summer itch suffers.
