RE: [RC] Itchiness due to sweat accumulation - Ranelle Rubin

When I am at home I use the knubby rubber garden gloves to rub their
faces..at a ride, I use my riding gloves..

Please Reply to: Jenny Powers jmpowers@xxxxxxxxxxx or

In response to Dixie's posting on her horse's itchy head due to
sweating: there was an article several months ago in EQUUS or Endurance
News referencing this problem. The article stated that sweating releases
histamines that cause itching. Some horses have nearly intolerable
itchiness because of this and should be relieved as quickly as possible
at vet checks, post work outs, etc. The horse should not rub on people
as that can be dangerous but the rider should rub the horse's face with
a rough towel, jelly scrubber, wet cloth or brush to provide relief.
Horses should not be punished for trying to relieve the itching
sensation.
