hi there, my horse is a seet itch sufferer, i have the rug and tried all sorts off creams. you could try going to your local chemist and get a cream or spray that you would use on holiday for masquitos etc, there are many diffferent ones but all the same. I found this to be fantastic and this year my horse has a full mane and tail!!!!!!! it only cost about £2 so if it doesnt work for you then at least your not spending a fotune.
