It may very well be the mosquitoes or other insects. A friend has a Quarter horse who really breaks ou in hives with the bugs, especially the mosquioes. They were using the Homeopathic remedy "Apis Mellifica" (or something like that, starts with APIS) and it relly worked. the next year they started feeding Garlic powder which kept the bugs off.
