supplement for itchy ponies?

[H & Bailey]

anyone tried the supplement by NAF for itchy ponies?
only asking as smudge is rubbing himself ragged and is looking a right mess.The other boys are fine and are moulting normally but i have deloused smudge and the gang anyway.i have been rubbing baby oil into his baldy bits and sore bits are getting sudocrem on,he is quite greasy so maybe a bath may help when its warmer any advice on a good shampoo for him?
dunno if its a shetland thing as my fields pony is also rubbing but not as much as smudge is...
any other things to try?

I have just started giving it to my itchy TB, 1 week now, you give more when the fly season gets into swing and the allergies take off. PM me if you want to know how we get on:)

ive just started using lincoln ditch the itch, spray for the first week i didnt see much effect, but i would definetly say shes now calmer in the field although there has been lots of flies and midges about :) and her coat is looking great, hopeing the mane and tail will stay this summer.

I have been feeding Magic Wendals Stop Itch right through winter and so far she seem fairly itch free. Last summer she had a bald ingected patchon her bum where she had rubbed herself raw and no tail onone side, this has grown back over winter and now has a lovely tail. I tried the Dodson & Hurrell Itch free but she didnt sem to goet any relief from her itchy tail un til we started using the Wendals one. Think its just a case of trail and error waht helps one may not another!!!

My shetland has cost me a fortune in new fencing this year:eek: I give him seaweed powder while he is casting & it does help. I also bathed him when it was warm a few weeks ago with a shampoo by Carr, Day & Martin called skin care. It helped also.

thanks,he gets seaweed daily and garlic,i think its just moulting but he is rather greasy ,ive bought some dermoline shampoo and am waiting for some warm weather to give him a good scrub to see if it helps any..he has a few clumps of winter fur left and doesnt seem as itchy

I tried feeding NAF D-Itch this year and started feeding it before the midges appeared, but when they did she was still itchy. It had no effect at all so was a waste of money for us unfortunately.
