[QUOTE="chippie, post: 359922, member: 5644"] Have you had your vet check the pony? The pony may have Neck Threadworms (Onchocerca cervicalis). When the larvae migrate, they cause itching and bumps along the neck and shoulders. The horse/pony is fine during the winter, but soon as warmer weather comes, the worms become active. Many people think that the horse or pony is allergic to flies & gnats, but the problem is deeper rooted. Some animals are more sensitive than others to the parasite. It is extremely difficult to cure. Regular monthly deworming with ivermectin can help. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
