[RC] Vet-ish advice--swelling between eyes - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Debbie Whaley whaleydj@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Not sure what happened to your horse, but my 4 year old Half-Shagya gelding had a strange spot on his forehead, just above his eyes, where the hair was parted nearly horizontally for about 4 inches...there was no swelling, just the parted hair, and the skin was reddened, sometimes (he has a blaze, so the skin is light). I kept an eye on him for a few days, and finally caught him, resting on one knee with the other leg stretched out, reaching under a PowderRiver type gate, to eat hay that had fallen on the other side. He pressed his forehead hard enough on the smooth edge of the gate to part the hair. My mystery was solved!
