I do too, it cannot be anything in his feed unless he is allergic to pasture. They get grain only as a treat. My horses rarely need hay because they are on pasture even in the winter. We only feed hay when there is snow on the ground. Could he be allergic to flies? We have very few mosquitoes because we have a substantial bat population and they keep the mosquitoes at bay. A big question! There is so much research that needs to be done. Anneliese
