I have noticed this at every show this year. My usual schedule the day before a show is bathe, show sheen, blanket and put into stall, take out an hour or so later when dry, laser sheen, hoof polish, and any extra trimming or clipping. I then put the blanket back on and in the morning I get to the show and bring my horse out to get ready. My gelding is fine with this, but my mare goes insane because she is so itchy. I brought her to my 4-H county and had her sheet, hoodie, and leg protectors on and brought her to her stall for the weekend. She went insane trying to itch everything off. She was rubbing her whole body against the walls, and rolling.
Is there anything I should do to make her more comfortable? She tends to want to itch against me in the ring (Which I don't let her) which keeps her from standing still. Could she be allergic to the show sheen or laser sheen? I see no bumps, I clean out her udder area the night before and all bug bites and put a protectant cream on it. Any ideas?
Thank you
