If it's where I think it is, It's from rolling on hard dirt and being
slightly underweight. Is it on the side of the rump where the hip bone
sticks out just a tad? My horse got that on each hip when he was a tad
underweight. Since I've been able to pack the weigh back on him it's
gotten much better. Just a little scar now. I just kept it clean and
put some ointment on it to keep it moist and clean. If we are talking
about the same thing, I wouldn't worry. It hasn't posed a problem for
us. Just keep feeding him!!
Was hoping someone at RideCamp might recognize a
weird skin patch that showed up on my daughter's horse. She just recently
moved to Fresno and emailed me a picture yesterday. She hadn't been to see the
horse in several days and it's king of ugly. Doesn't look like a kick or bite
(he's in with one other horse). It's about 2 inches in diameter, right at the
top of the hip bone. I need to know whether we need to call a vet. We haven't
found one for her yet since she just got there a month ago.
