But why do horses do this? Is he just itchy, or could it be something worse? If you continue to witness the behavior, it\u2019s worth investigating further.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following are some common causes of tail-rubbing in horses:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Pinworms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a common culprit behind tail rubbing. Pinworms occur more frequently in younger horses but can still occur in any aged horse. Female pinworms lay their eggs around the horse\u2019s anus which causes the itching. You cannot see the eggs with the naked eye, but your veterinarian can use clear tape placed over the anal area and then a microscope to check if eggs are present. Deworming with an appropriate anthelmintic will likely take care of the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Insect Hypersensitivity<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b> <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common insect that causes hypersensitivity in horses is the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Culicoides <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gnat. The conditions this causes go by many names including, Summer Eczema, Sweet Itch, Summer Seasonal Recurrent Dermatitis, etc., but it usually occurs in the late spring or summer. The hypersensitivity is caused when a horse reacts to the proteins released in the insect bites, which leads to irritation and often, tail rubbing. Some horses with insect hypersensitivity will also rub their mane, neck, or chest.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dry Skin<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s possible that your horse\u2019s tail rubbing is caused by plain old\u00a0dry, scaly skin.\u00a0Adding some coconut oil to the area can help if this is the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-35686\" src=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"890\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/yourhorsefarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/may16th-xd-wTq6xceDiwU-unsplash-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 890px) 100vw, 890px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3><b>Sunburn<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sunburn is more common in lighter-colored horses such as grays, paints, cremellos, and palominos. Commonly affected areas include the nose, around the eyes, and the tail dock, which, of course, can lead to tail rubbing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Food Allergy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not as common as insect hypersensitivity or pinworms, food allergies could be causing your horse to have an itchy tail as well.\u00a0Alfalfa, wheat, oats,\u00a0and bran are the most common equine food allergens, but other known allergens include barley, beet pulp, buckwheat, chicory, and clover.\u00a0 A skin allergy test may be needed to find the culprit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Dirty Sheath or Udder<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t cleaned your gelding\u2019s sheath in a while, this could be the reason for his tail-rubbing.\u00a0Since geldings can\u2019t easily rub their sheaths, they will often rub their tail\u00a0when debris has accumulated in the sheath. Mares may also rub their tails if their udders are dirty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Behavioral<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although not\u00a0as common as cribbing or stall weaving, tail-rubbing can also be a\u00a0behavioral vice\u00a0resulting from boredom or stall confinement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one likes to see their horse rubbing away at their tail, but if it becomes a habit, determining the cause can help you to eliminate the problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Love this blog post?
