Answer 1

hello,

my appy had dandruff also..

we had to alter her feed (not enough oils in her diet).

i gave vitamins:  i added linseed; i added rabbit pellets sometimes...

you may also add a couple of tablespoons of corn oil to his feed.

i tried a all of these things to see which would help her the most.  

(she also had allergies). Later i just bought better feed w/coat conditioner.ps. our other horses never had this problem.

Answer 2

get the vet to look at it because i really can't tell you any thing to help sorry i coulden't b more help

Answer 3

hiya.

i have had two horses, and had a very similar problem with the mane having dandruff.

what i would say to do is to go to your horse supply shop and ask.

they will pick you out a really good shampoo for the problem.

hope i helped
