Part of the mane is missing at the withers of this horse along with all of the tail hairs.
All of the hairs on this tail are missing along with the mane at the withers. There is no itching and the horse isn't bothered at all by it. This mare just shipped in from California a month ago to NY. I suggested that all Selenium (Se) be removed from the diet because one of the classic signs of Se toxicity is mane and tail hair loss. Other signs include hoof damage at the coronet area with the potential sloughing of the hoof. This horse's hooves were normal.
This Gypsy Vanner horse has a loss of hair with small scabs underneath the mane. (The mane lays on this side and has been lifted over to expose this hair loss). This horse is not itchy and has no evidence of lice. The owner has not seen this horse position herself where she could rub this area. A mystery that is unresponsive to medications. A possible cause is heat (summer in Florida) or too much cleaning removing the oils and microbes.

Fly spray on the left is used to repel flies when the horse is turned out and the spray on the right is used to sooth irritated skin from fly bites.
