Sweet Itch In Horses

Sweet Itch or IBH (insect bite hypersensitivity) is a skin condition affecting horses and other equine, including asses and zebras. The condition is caused by an allergic reaction to a bite from biting flies, most commonly Culicoides midges. Specifically, when a horse is exposed to the saliva from biting insects, it can trigger an strong immune response. An increase in histamine travels to the affected areas and can cause the skin to become itchy and inflamed. The actual inflammation from the bite itself does not cause the severe skin condition, but the discomfort caused by the bite can cause the horse to rub or bite the area which can lead to an infection and a spread of the condition.

Alongside all of this, it is a great time to improve your bond with your four legged companion. It is a relaxed break from other times you may spend together riding or competing and allows the horse to engage with you without having to perform or work.
