Well, I think it is from having lush, green, long grass pastures. I am
fortunatebut, ticks are an issue. When they graze on shorter, less lush
pasture there seem to be fewer ticks. WI is a high tick state, too.

i wonder if some horses attract them more than others? or if it's from
having
their head in the grass? i have not found one tick on oz, and i check his
forelock and tailhead every time i ride. however, some of the school horses
are
just full of them, not only in the heavy hair, but they get them on the
bodies...
laurie, and oz, no ticks on me (crossing my fingers, since i hate touching
the little buggers)
