The horses I know that had lice were not dull and lifeless. I don't know how long they had it though. I immediately told the owner and he bought this powder stuf. He powdered ever horse in that pasture and he hasn't seen them since. He took the horses to the vet and the vet told him what to get. I believe he bought a farnam brand.

In my opinion, a horse is the animal to have. 1250 pounds of raw muscle, power, grace, and sweat between your legs - it's something you just can't get from a pet hamster.

there was a horse at my barn, a rescue that had lice and we used the human lice treatment that you buy at the pharmacy on him and kept him seperate until it was gone. It also helps to clip the horse, it makes it easier to see how bad it really is. the lice was actually discovered whole body clipping the horse.
