Dear Jean:  I had an unidentified lump on my old mares knee a few years
back.  I rubbed it with Minords linament...and it went away...what would
happen if  you bathed it with that?  Do you just have the 2 horses now?
We have 3...the old mare and hubbys gelding and of course my yearling
Fjord...Storm.
How does everyone make out with fly masks?  Mine does not mind his and a
regular one still fits.  Suppose his head will outgrow a normal sized mask
in time? How much will the head grow anyway?
Wondering since everyone says saddles that fit are hard to come by...I may
have to resort to a bareback pad if he outgrows my saddle.... LOL
Love hearing from everyone,
Sue in N.B.   (Desert Storm's mom)
