Bi-Carb or Andrews. Rub it well into the effected area. Once the tics and fleas jump off for a sh1t, hide the horse.

I've never had to deal with mites on a horse before but I used to breed and raise Guinea Pigs. They got mites once and the this is the only thing that worked. I went to our fireplace and took out all the ashes and sifted out the lumps so that I was left with a fine dusty powder. Then I took each Guinea Pig and rubbed them all down with it. I coated ever square inch of them being careful not to get it in their eyes. The ash suffocates the mites and kills them off. I didn't wash the Pigs. I left them with the ash on them so that it would kill ALL the awful mites. The ash didn't bother them at all. I think they were just thankful for the relief. Also my Grampa was a farmer and when his cattle would get ticks, he would coat them in baby powder. Works just the same as the ash but they come out smelling better. lol Good Luck! Hope this helps

Might be mites, but my guess is lice. same family of critters. A pyrethrin product will give you fast relief but is not long lasting, needs regular retreatment but is safe. A good farm store like Southern States if one is in your area will have products to treat lice on livestock and can give you good advice. Rotonone dust from the garden section is a lot like pyrethrin, safe, but needs regular retreatment (like every 3 days for about 2 weeks to break the cycle on the animal) Bedding also needs changing and all grooming tools need seious washing as well as blankets and towels if you use them. What works with lice should work with mites. Not a lot of difference.

Is it mites? Or lice? Only use a product suitable for horses. For the safest bet phone your horses vet. Or buy it from the same place you buy your wormer.
The problem is re-infection, you'll need to treat any animals he's in contact with, steam clean the stable etc.

It's all merely a matter of personal preference. We have short hair and guys such as it. And i prefer a guy with short hair over a guy with long hair because long tresses tends to make guys look as well girly.
