Why are horses today more prone to parasite problems when compared to horses in the wild?
Modern domesticated horses are more prone to parasites due to limited turnout areas, which mean that they come in closer contact with the parasites than do wild horses which can roam wide distances and stay clear of parasite infested manure. Also the use of Anthelimentics (deworming drugs) have increased parasite resistance to the drugs and then the horse cannot get rid of them through deworming.
Why do horses rub tails causing loss of hair and making sores?
Horses may rub their tails due to itching caused by skin conditions like allergies, parasites, or dermatitis. This can lead to hair loss and sores from the friction and irritation. Proper grooming, addressing underlying skin issues, and managing parasites can help prevent this behavior.
