[RC] ticks in the mane - April


I like to use a bit of ShowSheen to prevent ticks from grabbing hold. I normally use it on the legs when ridding in an infested area. Had over 100 ticks one week riding for a couple hours without ShowSheen. Next week rode same place and picked off two when I had applied ShowSheen. Works for me. Obviously, just be careful where you spray it. It's slippery stuff!

From a recent post:

Another issue is wood ticks-my horse is pasture boarded and she comes in with ticks in her mane, they  sometime leave sores and "crud" behind. Is there a shampoo or tick repellent I could use?
