Have a question? Try asking one of our Experts
My horse is losing her mane hair, and this doesn't appear to be the result of rubbing. The bare skin on her mane has specks of a brown flaky substance. The hair appears to be almost falling out, and the hair doesn't seem to be growing back. Could this be the result of a parasite?

This type of article can give you some ideas about what you might be dealing with but cannot replace an on-site diagnosis from your veterinarian.
