how do you controll ticks on horses ...eeekkkk?

Try Avon Skin So Soft. It is safe on animals and very good for horses skin.

Or you can try just a regular horse fly spray. Read the label to make sure that it can repel ticks also. Most will. Apply the fly spray daily.

their are a lot of horse products out there. i would go to a horse shop (eg. Horse Land or Saddle world and ask them what products work best, they will probably know. if not sulfur is very good, rub the powder into the horses coat and leave in, it worked wonders on my friends horse. but the only bad thing with sulfur is it makes your horse look kind of green! D: some people also buy a sulfur salt block. the sulfur repels ticks when the horse sweats it out. or you could try Permectrin CDS. It is a pour on applied once every two weeks (maximum).

ive also been told that feeding them garlic works.

Hope This Helps and Good Luck with those ticks!

EDIT: in Adam B's answer he mentioned 'Avon Skin So Soft' i have heared some people use that aswell

EDIT: horsybill is also right keep that grass rather short, i think worming would be a good start

i'm vulnerable to have self belief the vet. is this a horse you own or a horse you're thinking paying for? because of the fact in case you're only staring at paying for him, i might scrap that concept! A horse's ft are the main expensive part of him; if those bypass undesirable, he will no longer be smart to you. If it relatively is a horse you own which you had an examination for somebody else to purchase him from you, i might take the vet's advice and attempt to get him healed up. i'm taking the vet's side because of the fact even nonetheless farriers attend horseshoeing college, i think of a vet has much extra standards in a thorough education in wellness care, and could have extra journey with injury, no longer in basic terms maintenance. and that i've got had a foul journey with a farrier who replaced right into a jerk to my horse and in simple terms had to get the activity over with and gets a commission, no longer help the pony study and enhance interior the path of the placement. So...this is my 2 cents nicely worth. solid luck with the pony, if he's yours. If he's not yours, there are some relatively severe-high quality horses obtainable, shop looking!

I usually just pick them off. If you worm them the wormer will kill them. You can spray cooking spray like Pam on them and they will suffocate. Most fly sprays will repel them. Horses pick up ticks in areas of tall grass. If you keep the grass trimmed low and weeds cut down, you will eliminate a lot of ticks.

try crosses instead
