Medical history
Sweet itch requiring a strict seasonal management plan: electrified paddock, fly rugs and masks plus weekly Switch in spring/summer; clipping and light rugging with monitoring in winter.
About Todd
A characterful Dartmoor cross gelding who arrived in 2022 after his owners passed away, leaving his sweet itch unmanaged. Now rehabilitated, he seeks an adult-only home as a non-ridden field companion where his sweet itch plan will continue. From roughly March to October he is kept in an electrified paddock (not stabled), wears fly rugs and masks and has weekly Switch; in winter he is clipped and lightly rugged. Good to be rugged, creamed and groomed. Lives in a mixed herd and gets on well, often grooming and playing. Can push boundaries and be strong to lead, so not suitable for children.
