I was given lots of advice from fellow horse owners at the yard where I keep her, some sounded crazy others made sense. It turns out that even the crazy sounding things make sense if you dissect
the information, for instance, "Give her Marmite sandwiches!" Well vitamin B is required to help heal and the Midgies don't like it! Marmite is high in vitamin B. So as well as Marmite in her feed, she has daily baths and has thick white cream (Sudocreme) rubbed into her mane, tail and back. After two days she has already calmed down with the itching and the sore areas are no longer looking angry. I hope things are on the up for her!
Once the itching has calmed down she can come in for the evening and night which is when the little pests are at their worse, but until then she will continue the strict hose down and cream up.
