Hi, We have a Welsh Sec A who has horrific sweet itch every spring and every year it has gotten worse but last year we bought a Boett Blanket, neck and head cover. As long as you get it on before April the sweet itch is kept at bay and the midges can't bite. Willow is kept in a paddock surrounded by electric fencing to protect the sheet from tears on the fencing and as long as he wears the full ensamble he has a comfortable year and keeps his mane tail and rump intact! They are expensive, ours cost £140 I think, but you get a full info pack and patches for repairs and the company are really hepful. In the long run it is cheaper than buying tubs of potions and lotions and everyone who has one swears by them, just read the magazine reviews!
