I am asking for advice for a friend about a yearling filly she has been given that has an Umbilical Hernia. It is far smaller than it was at a young age and is not causing any probelms at the moment for her.
She is wondering if any lifelong problems are common with horses who have healed Umbilical Hernia
When they are older than a year and have had no problems does that mean the problems are over?
Also, would riding be dangerous and can this horse have a foal.
Important to note that is is not genetic but an accident that happened at birth. She has been told the mother stepped on the placenta.
any experience with this or advice will be passed on and appreciated
