So far, our Sweet Itch regimen seems to be working and it's a bad buggy season for us. I started off by trying to make sure the ponies have a nice coat that will resist the allergens by giving them a cup of BOSS every day along with a balanced diet. Since Doppa has SE, I started putting Equispot every 2 weeks (religiously) on her as soon as I saw the first signs of bugs and I have been coating her ventral line with Swat everyday - sometimes every other and putting her fly mask (with ears) on her every day. So far, other than the typical losing hair itchies, we are doing well(knock on wood). I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue to work since the worst of the SE season is still in front of us.
