My four year od has started to have very slight nose bleeds from one nostril only after exercise. She also snorts a lot during exercise has anyone else had this experience. The vet is coming next month for vacs will mention it to him.
 
my 17 year old arab has been having bleeds on and off for years, not only when fit and in work but also turned out at grass. he has had extensive checks with a specialist vet where he was endiscoped, it happens fairly commonly with racehorses too. he still hunts and for the last 2 years we have treated him with Equiwinner patches, available from a firm from north wales, he had 2 10 day courses of these and has had nothing since- just a suggestion, but obviously get a vet to check her out first.
 
Yes my previous horse a Belg WB had nosebleeds on and off. This was when he was quite fit, and he used to get them when exercised. He lived in a dust free environment (or as good as). They only used to be from one nostril at a time, and only slight. He was endescoped and they could find no reason for any problem. His gutteral pouches were looked at, but they could only get into one (they are hard to get into apparently) so it may have been that there was infection in the other. Unfortunately not long after he was put down (for another problem) so I don't know if the condition was serious or could have been reoccuring.
