We've recently acquired a cob gelding, 13yo, who has a bit of sweet itch. It seems to have been well-enough managed to date (we've known him for nearly a year with his previous owner), but I'm wondering about supplementing his diet to help with it. He's on a basic diet - hay, pony nuts, chaff - but I'm thinking of adding some garlic granules to make him less attractive to flies and midges (in theory at least), and linseed oil. I'd welcome any thoughts on this and any alternative suggestions.
Cheers,
Lindsay
