They are invisible to the nakedeye and the first we know our horse has them is constant stamping of the feetor chewing and rubbing the lower legs. By this time the mites are wellestablished and can be extremely difficult to treat. It must be noted thatFeather Mites have a 42 day cycle and any attempt to successfully eliminateinfestation must be continued well beyond this period. Even once you havesuccessfully treated your horse, they are prone to re-infestation simplythrough contact with other horses, sharing or borrowing grooming kit and evenfrom hay and bedding.
