No...but horses often take a year, sometimes many years, to show it when they move. I've heard of a few imports that didn't show it until they'd been in the USA for 10 years, and many haven't shown it for five years - average might be within 1-2 years. Tivar was only here for six months, so I couldn't swear that "he didn't have it here" so much as "he didn't show it here." He would, however, rub his face sometimes, but I was able to control that by using the long-lasting (War Paint or Equi-Spot) bug repellents, and by keeping a fly mask on him. Janice was doing all that and MUCH more and he was still itching and rubbing in Florida. Karen Thomas, NC
