i know this sounds weird but worked on my daughters pony after trying benzobenzoate first! we spray on Avons skin so soft skin spray, it kept those blasted midges away that caused the pony to itch the mane off, still use it to this day!!!

we use this a lot in the US but not used the UK formula. works very well even diluted.

My knowledge of horses is also very limited, but I have heard of hibiscrub being used as a shampoo. Dont know how it faired out though

I used to use Benz Benz on my pony too a worked a treat.

Just looked on the net and seems as though you can still get it, used to get mine from Boots but I'm sure that now they would be a little funny about using on an animal?

there used to be one called 'switch' I think which I have used but this is many years ago as I have nothing to do with horses these days. The best thing I found which I dont think you can get anymore was topical benz benz and this worked really really well on mine
