Hi All, I spent several hours grooming the boys this morning and found a tick embedded above Ziggy’s (pinto) eye. I was able to remove the whole thing fairly easily, but was fairly shocked. Years ago, I had full size horses in eastern PA and don’t recall ever having ticks on them. Are they just more prevalent now? We started getting them on the dogs a few weeks ago, so are treating them, but am not familiar with how to keep them off of my minis. Any suggestions?
