    Hose him off very well after you ride. A full bath may be over kill. Corn oil, vegie oil works just fine. Mineral oil goes through them vegie based oil should not.
    Also down there there is the every present issue of fungus in the base of the tail and mane. Then there are the insects.

      First of THANK YOU, both, goearth & Truman. I do not feel so bad to ask now.
       This ones on bathing, as you know after all that sweating,
    he surely needs a bath. It seems to be drying out his skin,
    (especially mane & tail), as he seems to be getting some dandruff. I have tried head in shoulders, & conditioner, but
    seems to actually dull his coat. I have started to add some
    flax to his feed. Beet pulp,  &  10% grain. I never give him oil, as my Vet always told me that it does not help, it just makes things pass through a horse, so nothing fed with oil
    gives them any benefit at all. I really think it's from to much bathing. Any suggestions for this one?? I will cut back to 3 days a week riding now instead of the 5 day's I was riding.
    2 less baths may help???
                     THANKS AGAIN!!!
