what was it ?? should I be worried ??

prob worry about nothing but curious as to what it was.

Been on long hack and horse was sweaty so hosed him off.

now it might have been the cold hose but his sides changed, he had a deep line appear along his side on both sides. It was as if he was holding is breath. was he 'tucking up' ?

walked him round for 5 mins and stood him in the sun and the lines went. Stayed gone for ages before I turned him out.

what was it ???????? never seen him do this

Was it just behind his ribs?

Like this (bad pic)

Its just where he was gone 'thats cold' and stucked his tummy in. They do the same when you stick a cold hose on the top of their docks, when they try to sit down.
Nothing to worry about.
