We used Poridon. That worked very well, especially since the horse's were still in full winter coats. There are some flysprays available that are also good for killing ticks. I think it is UltraShield that mom picked up for spot treating. Most of our horses have very long and thick manes and that is where the ticks have a tendency to migrate when the horses start shedding, so I just scrub that into their mane and tail bases every few days, if they haven't been treated with the Poridon within the last month. Gotta be careful how crazy a person gets with all the treatment programs...don't want to OD the horses with insecticides, since the Poridon absorbs through their skin and is supposed to work for an extended period of time. You can tell the Poridon absorbs fast, since most of the horses will immediately lift their lips like they have a bad taste in their mouth.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-51988118579693052902009-04-20T20:01:00.000-07:002009-04-20T20:01:00.000-07:00Girl, I am so jealous!

Do you think the calves remember the experience and are more difficult to wrangle for future vaccinations? It was great of you to help out your neighbors. I'm glad you are getting some nice weather and hopefully getting some springs chores done!Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.com
