Hello

Any one who had their horse freeze marked remember how long their lumps and bumps took to go down? Mine was done 1230 ish Wed and the letters have gone down from big bubble letters but the top of the 1st and last are slightly raised and hard compared to the middle two and the area is quite warm. Is this normal? He's 3/4 Tb x ID so I'll know he'll take longer to settle than a thicker skinned horse but cannot help worrying. Had my previous horse done 9 years ago and don't remember this they just seemed to disappear very quickly and I was riding after 5 days he was TB cross too. Prob just panicking!
 
Yep about 7 days for my boy as well, he is also 3/4 TB, it also felt hot at times but he never seemed bothered by it. I rode him on the 8th day, but just rode every other day for that week with a nice fleecy numnah to pad things a bit.
