Is Belle a "nutty" horse? And I'm using nutty as a catch all term here. Has she lost a foal before?
hi, I just went outside to take some pics of the colts as they are changing color. I noticed Misty had her head up really high and fluid all over the ground. She is losing pools of gunk from her nose, whenever she puts it low. She isn't eating or anything. She was ok this morning and finished her feed.........should I call a vet, or I know this sounds stupid, but do horses get common colds? I have a taken a pic of her with head up that I can post........
I cant get hold of deaconjim right now : (
Nutty horse is describing her mildly:) She has a problem that I have never quite figured out what it is, but I believe it's either she has some kind of damage in her back/neck, or a deep seat fear of something that sends her into a panic. What ever causes it it is almost as if she has seizures. She has fell over with me 2-3 times, and then other times when I wasn't on her but had just finished saddleing. I do not believe it is because she is a rank horse. Something causes these spells other then her just being bad. I just have never been able to track down the problem. But she did NOT pass is on to her foal, thank heavens. She was broke in pretty roughly, I think that is were the problem originated.
Yes, she did loose a foal 3 years ago.
