Re: [RC] Caslicks - Rebecca Fabiszak

My friend that races flat track Chariot races had his new appy filly sewn last spring.     I believe the vet added a little bead so that she thought that she was pregnant. It kept her from cycling for about 4 months but I also heard that it is not to be done too much, too often. Beccy in Ut

Caslicks is not required at any track. It is down because the mare will run better if they are not sucking

wind. We did it on almost all of the fillies that we ran. Vet uses a little lidocaine, opens the tissue and

 sews closed. We have used super glue temporary, as well as duct. Yet another use for the wonder tape.

The procedure only closes the upper portion of the vulva aprox1-2 inches. It is opened at the time of

breeding and re sewn after conception.  We generally reopen aprox

two weeks before foaling.
