We spent years treating girth itch and wondering why young horses struggled so much with getting it, and older horses seemed immune. Over time this is what we came up with to prevent girth itch and keep our horses from painful, itchy sores and time off. 1. Young horses skin is fragile and easily irritated.

If we don't watch for signals like this, we have no way of knowing that the horse needs help. An itch like this can lead to an inflammatory reaction that involves the whole horse, welts all over and hair loss.

Managing the herd means being observant for what each horse is saying.#horsecare #sweetitch #bigwi
