Getting a long, nice tail

Hi!

🥕 Start by thinking about whether anything has changed that might be the reason the horse is scratching her tail. As you mention above, it could be insect bites, but also parasites such as internal parasites (worms), or lice. Perhaps she is reacting to the coat shine spray you are using?

🥕 Do try the PROB products from Ekholms (a Swedish brand, so UK readers may need to find a similar anti-itch shampoo and oil). There is both a shampoo and an oil for itching and sweet itch, available from various retailers. Read the instructions carefully, and wear plastic gloves yourself.

🥕 Do not brush too often, it pulls the hair out. Use a gentle brush and remember to always brush from the bottom up, working tangles out from the ends and up towards the dock.

Good luck! 🦄
