Does anyone know of a good tick repellant for horses?  My two horses are 
still suffering from ticks in the dead of winter despite numerous 
freezes here in N. Calif.  Either commercially made or recipes will do.

Hey Judy,
 My dog vet said to try Adams flea and tick repellant on my horse and it 
works very well. My horse doesn't care for sprays so I put it in a 
squeeze bottle and put it on her mane and tail. I also have a 1/4" in an 
old med. bottle that when I remove ticks from her I put them in and it 
kills them quite nicely. I use it every few days in tick season and 
sometimes I still find ticks, but not as many without using the Adams. 
Last year was a really bad tick year it seemed and I pulled maybe 50 to 
75 off of her, but the other horses had a group more. Hope this works 
for you.
