Mites are not uncommon on the legs of horses especially those with long feathery hair on the lower leg. If you are able to identify these mites as a problem, then application of an insecticide approved for topical use on horses is the solution. Sometimes the hair has to be shaved off to allow better access to the area. This also allows the wounds to dry out and heal.
