If the horse has lice I would bathe the horse in a pyrethrin insecticide based shampoo or any other shampoo that has an insecticide in it. This will help remove some of the lice. You cannot use a shampoo as the only means of lice control.

After bathing you will need to treat with an insecticide spray or pour on to have some residual insecticide to control any new lice that hatch out. Follow the package directions for using either a spray or pour on.
