Soooo Itchy!!!!

Well, all that snow we had this winter, melted into many areas of standing water, has really increased the mosquito population this year.  And they are HUNGRY!!!  Not too bad for people, but much worse for the animals.  Our horse, Quincy, was covered with them.  Poor guy.  But luckily we have some special spray for horses as well, and it works for a couple of days.
Can't really see them here in the picture, but his neck, shoulders, and rump were grey with the little blood suckers.  He could hardly stand still they were bugging him so much.  He wanted to get scratched so bad. 


Here you can see all his bites.

After he go sprayed, he felt much better. 


So where ever you may be, make sure you are protected against mosquitos!
