 I have a mare that is terribly photosensitive. She has a big white blaze 
(well used to be white, now it's bare). I have tried literally everything. 
What works best for me is to keep it totally covered with a cloth sewn to a 
fly mask. She won't keep zinc oxide on her nose. She rubs it off and takes 
skin with it. I use a factor 30 sun screen when I use her. Mary Kay brand. 
The Mary Kay salesman thinks I'm pretty strange as that's the only product 
she can talk me into:) It's thick and works well without being greasy. Could 
keep her under cover at all times during the day, but she hates it. What she 
needs is a big hat.
