Brush everyday as long as you can also put some liquid vitamin E & brush again

I will try the tail wrap. Tail not thick.
My horse also rubbed the top of his tail, he looked like he had a pig tail on top. I found a good mixture. 1/3 Brown Listerine, 1/3 Baby Oil, 1/3 water. Just spray it on and rub in. Stops the itch. Good for dogs w/hot spots.

I couldn’t get to the (more tail rubbing soutions) this is a very flustrating problem I deal with here in South Carolina. I Quarter Horse is 22 yrs old and has a very tuff time with insects Spring thru Summer. He not only rubs his tail raw but will rub his face raw. I have tryed all more everything on the market but nothing really works. I hate put chemicals on him every day.

Both my own mare and a horse I ride at a ranch have semi-thin tails. This article has helped a lot in teaching me what I need to do in order to make their tails more full. Absolutely fantastic.

I think that tail bags are a bit unneccesary in that they cover up the horses natural fly swatter. And using your fingers to comb out your horses tail is a good way to get out all the tangles, rather than using a comb
