Lippizans and Andalusions are tough to tell apart and typically grey, no tufting on the feet, but have a similar heavy crested neck and high carriage on the stallions.

No, he's got white spots now on his withers, that he didn't have before. I do watch for some stuff:). It is hard to tell on a palomino, but the white hairs showed up about the same time as the rub.
And yeah, as much as I don't want to, (how long will it take), I probably agree that I shouldn't ride him till that scab comes off on its own, if I want to know for sure what's causeing it. If I got bad now, who could say it is the saddle, pad, or just irratating an already sore spot.

Anyone been watching that mini series Empire. It's pretty good if you like that sort of thing. I'm finally getting around to watching last weeks episode, and am noticing the pretty horses:). The hero, Tyrannus is riding what looks like a Friesen (sp).
Becky
We'd love to see pics!
I don't think it's rain rot, if it was rain rot, it'd be all over him, not just in one little spot. Lots of horses tend to get it on their neck and chest, and they scab and ooze.
Empire is on ABC on Tues. nights. Next week is the last episode:)
Aren't Fresians a large horse that looks a bit drafty, but not as big as Clydesdales. Mostly black.
I'm wondering if Mark Antony's horse isn't a lipizzan. Very collected high stepping, very arched neck. ???
Anyway, it's pretty good. I like those Roman type movies.
Becky
Yeah, I knew it wasn't rain rot, it's just that the hair came out in clumps like it does with rain rot. Rain rot is the only skin fungus I've ever seen in horses, I didn't know if all fungus' cause the hair to come out like that in clumps, or if just the saddle rubbing would do that too.

Yep, that's the horse that the Gladiator is riding:). Very pretty.
I've been outside. turned the horse in together, well Rusty and Harley, they ran the fence with Rock, and played in the arena, pictures loading.
I was looking at Harley's back, looks pretty symetrical to me. I took several pictures, and landed up deleting the one i was going to post. No big deal, I don't think you could have told anything anyway.
Becky
Well, it was just something to rule out.
Looking forward to the pics!
Becky
Oh ok, I'm sorry. My answer was a bit rushed, I was sending it off before I left work, (I was dancing to get out of there!) My apologies if I've sounded curt or rude. :-) I didn't know if you've seen rain rot before. I would've never seen rain rot either if it wasn't for a severely neglected horse that we once took in.
Forgot to ping you on my pictures above. Thought you might like seeing my horses playing:)
Becky
Kickin' it up!
That's a particularly cool 'wild eyed stallion' pic.
Glad he gets to play with the others, at least through the fence.
It's not just from neglected that horses get, Just about everyone I know who lives around here has had to deal with it a time or two. I saw one up the road one time that was a pretty bad case. It was a buckskin horse. By the time they got him over it it had killed the hair folicles and the hair came back in white. He looked just like an appaloosa after that.
No I didn't think you sounded rude either:). My post wasn't real clear why i put that part in. I think we all know each other well enough on here to know we are NEVER rude to each other:)
Becky
I'm glad they went and ran the fence with him. I wish he wasn't so mean when he was turned loose with them....
I was trying to catch him. He stood straight up several times and pawed the air, it looks pretty cool when he does that. But I missed it everytime. I also missed Harley picking up one of the tires in the arena and throwing it.
Becky
I know it happens to me too. The shutter delay in digital cameras is really frustrating. So many times you miss the really good shot and get the shot 2 seconds later. Makes it hard to get the best action.
Hi everyone, fantastic pics!
The pics of the cabin is the large cabin we are in now. I have taken a pic of the "shack" but am too tired right now to post.
We had a disapointing day looking at property, all was not worth our trouble. The scenery was great on our journey though, but we did have a lot of rain. Tommorow we plan to take the kids to a state park and relax. : )
I'm logging out now and getting the kids ready for bed.
G'night!
Good morning
Becky
