Well after yesterdays post re cleaning horse boy bits last night I took the plunge.
OMG it is the MOST revolting thing to do! Yuk yuk yuk!

Hovis wasn't bothered in the least bit which was fine but it foul! I felt like an extra from some animal farm porn film. Not helped by half the yard stood watching giggling hysterically and hubby and my YO threatening to film it and put it on the internet. How do you do it without looking like you're erm "pleasuring " your horse?!!!!

But on a serious note whilst I "went in" I couldn't find what I was looking for (without being too gross). Eventually I think Hovis took pity on me and erm lobbed it out but I couldn't find it inside the sheath. I assume i wasn't in far enough?

Any help gratefully appreciated and I will reply when I've finished my third dettol shower on the morning! I feel so unclean!
 
You couldn't find his willy, or you couldn't find the bean?

I have now researched the art of horse sheath cleaning and it looks like I didn't go far enough (though I felt at any moment I was going to get sucked in). I shall inspect again tonight and see how well i did.

Oh and how do you get rid of the SMELL??? I washed my hands in scorching water four times at the yard and still drove home with the windows open retching.
 
I don't even attempt it everything is tucked away, when he 'relaxes' i just massage on a bit of sheath cleanser and all the grots kind of rub off over a couple of days. There is no way you can make it not look like you are far too close to your horse, you'll just had to put up with the slander, or do it in private.

Here's the technical bit...I foung b's bean at the very end of his willie, there's a little peehole and if you very gently feel up the side of this, suppose equivelent of foreskin, there it goes, no mistaking it when you get it. But in all honesty, I didn't know to look for it until recently and I have had b for 9 years and he's not come to any harm in all this time with it.

On that note, no matter how disgusting this is, it's nothing compared to a mare in season! blurg!!!

happy bean hunting, ha ha!!

It depends on the mare ! The Moose is a very clean girl, even when she's in season, you'd never know except for the way she waves her bum at the gelding who shares her field (he is not interested).
 
God I must be a scum bag - or no sense of smell - certainly no worse than cheesey feet - or mine have lovely willies - take your pick

Actually OHs are awful - when I asked Andy to do his own horse he told me it was a girls job and that boys don't do boys - now I want another mare so he can do her bits.

Even worse, I was on my knees inspecting Chancer for beans and giving it a gentle rub to get off any crusty stuff and he now refers to me as the horse w*nker - bit of a change from a whisper I suppose.

You will get used to it - I did.
 
Here you go

A bean is a ball of whitish goo - bit like cheese that forms within a small pocket at the tip of the willy - basically either side of the pee tube.

Chancer gets one in each pocket. If you don't keep an eye on it they can go very hard and need a vet to remove them.

I am very lucky with Chancer - he likes me doing his willy and does not object to me removing them. I check for them every other month as he unfortunately does get a lot of build up. He is unusual in this respect, both in terms of build up and a lot of horses do require a vet to remove a bean.

The first one I found was just before he was 3 - wondered what the hard lump was - with a bit of work it popped out and it was nearly the size of my thumb - this was why his pee was going everywhere

. There was a second smaller one that I also removed. I find removing them frequently is best so they don't get too big.

I do keep an eye on Cairo, but he is a far more private sort, so I have to be quick before it disappears. He is now getting old and old geldings can get these and if left to get large and hard can have problems. So far apart from a little deposit which I removed he has nothing. Again I check him every 3 - 6 months so I can get anything out before it grows.

Hope that lot helps - honestly it is not that bad a job - would rather do a willy any day then clean up dribble from a snotty kid.
 
Thank you, Theresa_F!
So it's dried smegma. Every day a school day.
I've obviously mostly been involved with mares, because in nearly 40 years with horses I never heard of "beans"
Wait and see, someone will tell me about it tomorrow! lol!
