scabby hoss :(

[beki x-x]

my girl seems really scabby,
not big scabs but if you ran your hand the wrong way through her coat little scabbs(like dandruff) are everywhere.
is this something i need to worry about or does she just need a bath (which we are not allowed to do at current yard)
she also seems a bit patchy, not so much bald spots but shorter darker hair.
this is only on her back and the dandruff stuff is under her mane aswell.
but everywhere else she has a really healthy gleaming coat

Has she recently been turned out without a rug? Could be that if she's been rugged, she's just accumulating some "grease" to keep her waterproof. Looks horrible though doesn't it?

A bath would prob sort it out - wonder why you're not allowed to do this on your yard?

ok, i was getting a bit worried.
yes she has just had her rug off, but she was like it under her rug before aswell
where i bought her from the lady used to put shampoo in a bucket with water, and sloosh it on (like sponging down) but not rinse it off, could it be the old shampoo aswell?

err ..becasue my YO is a nutter

the bald patches have also only started since she has been out without a rug, and there has been a little rain. (have put a lightweight on for heavy rain) but she has been out in the wet in showers.
could it be a little bit of rain scald (i know nothing about it)

Doubt it just may be a grubby horsey. Dont get the no bathing thing cant you even use a bucket and sponge. If not take him to the car wash

its not that, im allowed to hose down, not use shampoo.
its these things that really annoy me
the YO doesnt like shampoo/farriers/fullneck rugs/dentists
but obviously have the farrier anyway
cant wait to move
