Please, please, either spray your fields or dry lot and manage your horses grazing when you have Alsike clover. By the time you start seeing the photosensitivit...y you already have liver damage. Check your horses daily for scratches/greasy heel, sunburn, skin issues and chat with your nutritionist and your Veterinary professional and barn manager on ways to combat and deal with the cause not just the secondary symptoms. This damage can be deadly and is cumulative. Proper Management is key. The horse below belongs to a friend and made a full recovery. Thank you for the pic Darice.
