Horse louse is a species of parasitic lice that feeds on the skin and hairs of horses and other equids, such as ponies and donkeys. Horse lice are small, wingless insects, typically about 2-4mm long, that contain segmented bodies and are covered in a hard outer shell.

Horse lice live in the manes and tails of horses, as well as other areas such as the neck, hindquarters, withers, and between the legs. They feed on the skin and hairs of their host, which can cause irritation, itching, and bald patches on the horse's coat. In severe cases, the presence of lice can cause anemia, weakness, and loss of condition in the affected animal.

To control horse lice, it is important to use insecticides that are specifically formulated for horses and their parasites. Regular grooming and bathing of the horse, as well as regular combing of the mane and tail, can help to prevent and remove lice from the coat. In addition, horses should not be allowed to come into contact with other horses that are known to carry lice.
