She lost half her beautiful mane before I started using a fly sheet/snuggy hood rug this spring (Southern Hemisphere) biotin supplements are awesome for making manes grow faster. An antifungal/antibacterial wash weekly will help stop secondary infections.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109029912059316119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-42498694974698025052015-11-05T08:30:14.751+01:002015-11-05T08:30:14.751+01:00We shall see how she rocks the mohawk afterwards -...We shall see how she rocks the mohawk afterwards - she's going to be such a soft punk rocker lolzAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-66438487574341350872015-11-05T08:29:35.963+01:002015-11-05T08:29:35.963+01:00Aw thanks hun!Aw thanks hun!Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-48720545545517760462015-11-04T06:58:14.425+01:002015-11-04T06:58:14.425+01:00I like the roached mane idea!

In fact Chrome's is about to flop right now. I need to trim it. <br /><br />Neem oil works really well for Chrome's sweet itch when I can be consistent. With me getting off so late in the evening this year it was useless.... His was horrible this year. <br /><br />It seems weird that she would develop it so late... Fingers crossed that's not the problem. It could have been flies, ticks, mosquitoes, bacteria, fungus, any number of things. If it were me I'd just wash it really well with something that soothes itch and see how it goes over the winter. :-) She's still beautiful!Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-33332678517634468322015-11-02T21:09:22.235+01:002015-11-02T21:09:22.235+01:00I've totally gave myself a good old smack with...I've totally gave myself a good old smack with hands coated in wonderful/terrible grooming product! <br /><br />Roached manes grow up like a mohawk and then flop right back over thanks to gravity and hair whorls :)L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-92207427410651618562015-11-02T19:47:53.235+01:002015-11-02T19:47:53.235+01:00Thanks for the Listerine tip, I'll keep that i...Thanks for the Listerine tip, I'll keep that in mind for next year. My aunt has dealt with sweet itch before and recommended some tea tree oil concoction - so ill get her recipe for that too. <br />I know Nancy's little sister suffered from sweet itch, but prior to this summer N hadn't shown any signs. I'm hoping it was just a bumper year for flies and that she isn't actually affected by sweet itch - she does hate flies!<br /><br />I will have a think about roach in mane when getting her clipped. Will it not end up growing out like a mohawk? Or will it eventually flop over to the side again as it gets longer?Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-63319607701308664192015-11-02T19:44:27.324+01:002015-11-02T19:44:27.324+01:00I know, I'm hoping that it's not really sw...I know, I'm hoping that it's not really sweet itch and that if i can nab a Horseware fly rug at a bargain winter sale price I can hopefully preserve whatever mane grows back over the winter *sob*Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-47435187864496690572015-11-02T19:43:33.918+01:002015-11-02T19:43:33.918+01:00Never fear L, if it's ridiculous chances are I...Never fear L, if it's ridiculous chances are I've managed to do it ;-)<br />Thanks for the kind words, I cannot wait for them to come back in at nights so i can clip them and not worry about sweaty-bettysAoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568084884850100400.post-72143041758541355252015-11-02T19:42:22.357+01:002015-11-02T19:42:22.357+01:00Nope, that's the beauty of the Canter Mane &am...Nope, that's the beauty of the Canter Mane & Tail spray.

That way it can all grow out evenly together.<br /><br />There is a link between Friesians and skin problems (I think actually related to collagen problems) that I was unaware of before Chrome developed sweet itch. If Nancy isn't rubbing sores on her shoulders or anything it may not be sweet itch though so don't start stressing yet. <br /><br />I've heard people have a lot of luck using Listerine (not sure what kind of mouthwash you guys have over there...) to keep them from rubbing their manes out. You may just have to wash it every couple of weeks in the summer. Her tail is gorgeous though!! The goats are ruining Chrome's tail (not eating it, but rubbing their horns in it). I'll have to do a post on that sometime... not happy.
