Re: [RC] Ticks and Horses - Glenda R. Snodgrassa week or simply not worry too much about it? Do you use any kind of tick repellent at all and if so what do you use? I learned that Show Sheen sprayed on the tail really keeps ticks off! Apparently it makes the tail hair so slickery they can't climb up it. :) I had one horse that reacted very badly to tick bites, so in the summer I sprayed Show Sheen on his legs and tail every 3-4 days, and rub it on his face and neck a bit, and it really helped him out a lot. I don't think this qualifies as a "natural" preventive but it made me feel much better than putting poison on his skin all the time. -- Glenda R. Snodgrass Before you begin, consider ...
