What time of year are horses most susceptible to ticks?

Question

Accepted Answer

Horses are generally most susceptible to ticks in spring, summer and fall when temperatures are milder and tick activity increases. The risk of tick infestation increases particularly in the warmer months when horses spend more time outdoors. It is important to check horses regularly for ticks and take appropriate preventative measures, such as using tick repellents, to minimize the risk of disease.
