So I clipped the girls necks and chests today and found lice on the two light colored ones, I'm sure the black one also has it. Suggestions for the best and most effective treatments for minis?

I like Pro-Zap insectrin dust, comes in a 2# shaker can. Sprinkle down their spine from behind the ears to the top of their tail, rub it in (preferably with gloved hands, disposable gloves in you got them); repeat in 10 days.

Dont forget to do brushes and other equipment you have been using. Hope they clear up quickly for you

Yes, thankfully I had bought them their tools, just a couple of curries and a plastic brush at this point and have kept them and everything separate from my other horses.

Good grief. What a nasty shock. Blood suckers! They will feel so much better when you get them cleaned up. All that long hair can hide so many things.

I was able to identify that these are the biting (chewing) lice and not the blood sucking kind thankfully or I’d probably have some anemic girls. But man did I irritate them yesterday clipping their necks and it was quite warm. My poor girls were so itchy for the next few hours. Going to get remedies today for them. I feel so bad for them. I wish I could have clipped them right away when they arrived but it was so cold and rainy.
