Burn / sore on lip

[LadyGascoyne]

My filly spent last night out on a slightly larger field- not her usual one.

This morning she has a sore on her lip. It’s shallow, dry and doesn’t seem to worry her at all. It almost seems like a rub or a rope burn. She’s in perfect spirits and grazing happily. Any ideas as to what it could be?

Buttercups?

Buttercups?

My thoughts too

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Nope none of those either. The field doesn’t seem to have any flowers, but there are a few weeds.

Hogwort?

Giant hogweed can do that, make sure you deal with it if you do have some as each plant releases thousands of seeds and it can quickly get out of control. It's taken several years to remove all ours

Thistles maybe? Mine had similar a few years ago and I couldn't work it out- then I caught her nibbling the tops of the thistle so put it down to that. Hasn't happened before or since and she wasn't bothered by it.

I wonder if the pollen on her nose has made her itchy and she’s rubbed herself on her leg...a friend...a post?

Ycbm. I’m now thinking of Hogwarts. Can Harry Potter wave his wand and make it better?

Can Harry Potter wave his wand and make it better?

She’d probably just eat it 😭

Thanks everyone, going to have a hunt around the field tonight.
