I'll spray Showsheen on the bad parts (butt, hip), let it dry, and then use a rubber curry comb to get most of the nastiness out. Other than giving a bath before blanketing for the winter.....is there any way to avoid it? It's so nasty.

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	Yeah I try not to overdo it on the Showsheen. But it helps a little and lasts quite a while. One horse gets it bad, the other is fine. So weird! We're transferring them over to Renew Gold so maybe the rice bran in that will help.
