great to see you on you tube. Would love a video on CPL and whether there is an increase in seeing draught horses affected in Australia and if so may it be due to the trend of breeding for more feather.

Thanks for the reply - Fortunately, CPL is something that's kept away from us! Increase, decrease, or stable numbers- I have no idea. I'd suggest it may be bad where owners let horses go without much hoof maintenance at all, and without realising they may have feather mites as well, perhaps, and they can go rife without much resistance. That annoys the horses, and things get worse, maybe without the owners being aware of it. Right at this moment we don't have feather mites on the property, thank goodness - we seem to be rid of them for now at least.

There is no way I'd put those toxic chemicals all over my horse!
