The Cure!!!!

If I have to keep saying this to people I am going to scream: THERE IS NO CURE FOR SWEET ITCH!!! I remember going to a new yard and a girl coming up to me and commenting saying how cute Vic was and I replied yeah its such a sweet heart such a pity about him having sweet itch. Her reply was oh my uncle has a cure for that... Put black tar on him all over and him in a cold dark stable for 5 days with no sunlight at all! It toke every once of moral dignity not to knock the girl one there and then! People get so hung up on how to fix the problem with horses a lot of the time when really if they spent half their energy on preventing the problem from happening or managing the risk i.e. no barbed wire in a field with sweet itch it would save a lot of time and effort for everyone! The management page will give you all the info you need to handle sweet itch :)
