If you find a tick on your horse and the horse appears to not be at all affected or unwell, you can pull the tick straight off. I usually twist the tick180 degrees, then pull it straight out. This helps to unhook the tick’s oral barbs, hopefully reducing the risk of leaving a head. Occasionally leaving the head can result in infection. Minor swelling from a tick can be reduced via icing or cold water therapy.
Although it is very difficult to prevent tick infestation entirely, you can do the following to reduce your horses risk:
ecommend spraying your horse with a pyrethrum insect repellent to cause the tick to withdraw and drop off. If it does not withdraw, spray again and leave for a few minutes. If it doesn’t fall off, remove it with tweezers as it should be dead. Read more at: https://wagwalking.com/horse/condition/ticks
