Ticks on horses

nihicib2 · 2012-06-02 20:48:51

Hi all I've recently moved my three horses to new pasture and I've noticed that they have a lot of ticks on them, I know horses get some ticks during the summer but there are a huge amount on mine, any advice? :confused:

Perhaps Frontline spray might help (never used it myself but heard reports) and feeding garlic in hard feed.

It's important to remember with ticks though, if they do get any, don't pull them out! Treat them with vinegar and let them fall out themselves.
