Games and Show Jumping can cause very bad back legs and joints when the horse gets older like i knew this horse who use to be a eventer and when she was 21 she got put to sleep so i guess eventing doesnt do them any good too!

There can be several different reasons why your horse is feeling itchy. It's possible he is allergic to something. There could be mites of some kind of insect that is biting him. You didn't mention if he has lost any hair, has bumps or swelling, ect. Have you changed his diet recently? If the problem persists he needs to be seen by a vet.
