have a question...what exactly is going on with a prego mares body that causes them to start getting the itchies and rubbing like crazy on the side of walls etc? Is it elevated hormones that cause some kind of allergy type skin reaction? I don't own one but it seems that all the ones I watch do this.

Hello Linda, Having birthed hundreds of mares I have not noticed this particularly. One reason a pruritic late term very gravid mare might do this would be she can't reach the area with her teeth. To find out exactly what is making her pruritic would require a thorough exam of the skin. DrO
