Hi, I am new to this forum but am desperate for an advice that can be given for an itchy pony. We have a 22 year old mare who has been (virtually) constantly itching for about 6 months. If she is in her paddock she grazes happily, but bring her into her stable, and next to some post and rail, and she will latch her whole body onto them and itch. It has got to the stage where I cannot leave her in her stable unattended (unless she has a rug on) , and she has broken numerous bits of fencing. We have had her clipped and this did help slightly. I have spoken to the vet who has put it down to her age and maybe cushings (although she isn't laminitic ) . Any advise pleeeease ?
