    Sidebone

    Had a horse with sidebone who went to HOYS twice! Douglas the showjumping stallion had terrible sidebone. If you’re careful on hard ground and manage foot balance it’s rarely a problem

    Green snot. One nostril

    Mine has super sensitive airways/lungs after having had pneumonia and if she has a flare up it tends to only be one side. Monitor and if you’re worried have your vet taking a swap and/or do a scope x
