Lyme Disease in horses

.​Tick Tips for Spring: Prevention is the Best Medicine 

Spring brings green pastures, longer days… and an increase in ticks.

With warmer temperatures and seasonal moisture, tick populations can rise significantly, bringing a higher risk of Lyme exposure for horses across many regions.

A few simple ways to reduce risk for your horse:
• Check your horse daily, especially along the mane, tail head, under the jaw, between the legs, and around the ears
• Avoid dense brush and wooded edges when possible, especially during peak tick season
• Groom regularly to help spot ticks early
• Support your horse’s overall resilience and immune health

At Whole Horse Herbs, we focus on supporting the whole horse, helping maintain balance, strengthen immune function, and build resilience during higher-risk seasons like spring.

If you find a tick, remove it carefully and completely. Some owners choose to save the tick for identification or testing if concerns arise.

A few small, consistent practices can go a long way in protecting your horse.
