Hello, I have an Icelandic horse that was imported from Iceland this winter. I'm aware that the risk of sweet itch is higher here and that it can occur in any horse. However, I wanted to ask what I can do to prevent it, or perhaps prevent it from occurring in the first place?
Should I just put a fly sheet and mask on her beforehand? Or give her some kind of special food? I'm open to any suggestions.
thanks in advance

Loading...Hey you, I keep hearing at my stable that if you want to groom the horse outside of the stall in the stall aisle, you should tie it up on both sides. What are the advantages of this? The only one that comes to mind is that the horse can't move back and forth at…
Is this western town worth visiting with children in winter? Has anyone been there before?
Hey, I wanted to know how many pairs of breeches you have. Feel free to write and tell me what kind.
Hello! I have the following problem. I absolutely love riding and would like to go cross-country riding with a second horse more often so my horse can fully relax. Unfortunately, no one rides at my stable. We now have new neighbors with two horses. The young woman rides alone. Her husband doesn't. She can't go…
Hi, My RB always tenses up his back all the way to his neck, which makes him quite uncomfortable to sit on. When I ride him on a circle or volta, he lowers his head and relaxes, but as soon as we're back on a straight line, he tenses up again and raises his head….
My Arab is a light summer eczema. Since I make an approximately 8 weeks zinc cure with her every hair change, Feb. to April, and Oct./November her SE has become much smaller and sometimes I do not have to smuggle for weeks. It otherwise gets the effective, but disgustingly smelling derfen as a rubbing agent. From this stuff, however, not a drop may come to the skin or clothes, otherwise you are lonely in the Edeka. I only use it with thick rubber gloves.
I won’t cover it. It is 24/7 on the pasture and there is every blanket torn after some time. Thank God, but she has lived on a pasture for about 4 years, which is practically free of flying. Of course, that also helps.
But if this helps your horse? But maybe you’re lucky and the horse doesn’t get SE. DA’s common thing with the SE is that a miracle remedy helps with the horse A, but not at all with the horse B, only occasionally with the horse C. I don’t know any SE owner who doesn’t have a lot of miracles in the closet. By the way, veterinarians no longer know about SE as knowledgeable and experienced SE owners.
I therefore advise you to join a SE group on Facebook.
Summer eczema is allergic reaction.
Precautioned by the bite of blood-absorbing insects (even in the case of Gnitzen (bard mosquitoes) and crawling mosquitoes), there are proteins in the saliva of the insects, to which the immune system of some horses exaggerates.
Information of the animal health insurance company:
Otherwise insect protection, on it. Itching agents can provide relief.
I also know that the eczema is an allergy. She’s got 24/7, and I can’t change anything. However, it is not wind-protected (except in the pasture hut), which is helpful as you have said.
What do you think of a precautionary flying blanket? That they don’t get to the horse from the start?
weidegang 24/7 for an Icelandic from island? the derails the metabolism.
You can do it.
At 24/7, which is apparently unusable according to FS, is not the old one I do not think the pasture has been deliberately broken around here and has been systematically turned to deficiencies. Most farmers do not participate. Moreover, most horse farms do not have any value for this reason.
special food is a good idea.
best kelp and braids from island and heu, which has grown on vulcane stone, so extremely low nutrients. what your perd is used to from home.
an import horse from island cannot be fed in Germany. In addition, the temperatures are not clear.
and eczemer gantry on it. under the ceilings it becomes extremely warm in the summer. already horses that are used to our temperatures are sweating among the things in the wind in the shade already standing.
Wait for your horse to be an eczemer. Not every originalisland is one. With me in the neighborhood, a woman holds six Icelanders, including two original Icelanders. Nobody has eczema.
