[RC] ticks in the mane - AprilI like to use a bit of ShowSheen to prevent ticks from grabbing hold. I normally use it on the legs when ridding in an infested area. Had over 100 ticks one week riding for a couple hours without ShowSheen. Next week rode same place and picked off two when I had applied ShowSheen. Works for me. Obviously, just be careful where you spray it. It's slippery stuff!

Is there a shampoo or tick repellent I could use? -- "It doesn't matter how slowly you go - as long as you don't stop!" - Confucius
