[RC] Spot-on tick applications for endurance horses - Sarah Seashols
Hi All,
I’m a longtime lurker, and wanted to get some advice
on using the spot-on insect applications for horses, specifically for my
endurance pony. I know it’s February, and many of you aren’t
thinking about this right now, but I was just diagnosed with Lyme disease that
I must have contracted sometime in December. I live in SE Virginia, so we
have very mild winters (it’s in the 70’s today). Needless to
say, the bugs are out to play all year long. A friend of a friend lost
her good endurance horse to Lyme last year, and I would just be devastated if
that were to happen.
So, have the spot-on insect applications been shown to repel
ticks? And more importantly, has anyone had issues with the spot-on
applications and toxicity/metabolic issues with their endurance horse?

so that I can go riding
