Abstract
Insects that bother horses, and ways to treat them, are covered here.
People keep horses in Nebraska for a number of different reasons. Some are for 4-H projects and urban users (recreational), ranch and farm (work), breeding farms, and racing.
Some of the insect pests of horses are also pests of other livestock species. Other insects are specific to horses, but may be pests only on farm and ranch horses.
The best methods of pest control vary depending upon the type of horse production.
