Hello everyone,

he is not a draft horse
does not have feathering on his legs
it is on his rump and middle of his neck.

if he does could you tell me how to treat it?

thanks:)

I use it on my mare when she gets bumps (which are often fungal). Tea tree oil is great for all types of skin issues for your horse as well as for you! Good luck!
