Thanks to all of you who responded to my question! Have a Great weekend, and I'll certainly check for ticks, although I've already combed it out and haven't seen any! --- On Fri, 6/24/11, Debbie Hunt <huntdebbi...@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Debbie Hunt <huntdebbi...@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: mane trimming To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Date: Friday, June 24, 2011, 8:50 AM This message is from: Debbie Hunt <huntdebbi...@yahoo.com> Good point. I board my Fjord and there have been 3 horses treated for infected ear wounds from ticks. They are bad in Kentucky this Summer. As far as the "bushy tails", I contribute that to the breed characteristic and the fact that it takes forever to shed out there massive Winter coat. I have noticed my boy scratches his butt more in the Spring when he is shedding like crazy. I believe they are "itchy". Just my observation.
