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.
