Veteran Posts: 173 Location: oklahoma	We just purchased a horse that is very thin skinned. She has a little bit of hair loss on her neck and her back is flaky. I know that the previous owners bathed her with oatmeal shampoo, but what other options do I have to keep her hair and skin hydrated and not flaking off?

It helped my mare when he skin was dry. I used it twice a day. I also used the Santa Fe spray that has conditioners and sunblock in it. Helped her out a lot!

Veteran Posts: 173 Location: oklahoma	Thanks guys! This is a first for me. I have had horses with allergies and rub the hair off, but the vet thinks this is just because she is so thin skinned that she gets irritated easy. Edited by smrowdy 2015-03-18 4:23 PM
