We're just getting Han back hacking out and doing some quiet lunging when she comes in with a lump the size of an orange on the front of her shoulder. I honestly don't think it is a horse fly bite or sting because she has had both of these before and never come up like this... Most people who have seen it think it's a kick because there is swelling around the lump.
The lump was rock hard yesterday (panic) but has gone a little squishier this morning. She has been having it cold hosed and a free trot in the school (very naughty, not supposed to do this!) morning and night to see whether that will reduce it. BUT it has not decreased in size at all in over 24 hours.
She is not at all lame on it, so I am hoping it is just a fluidy build up caused by the kick...
Has anyone seen anything like this before and if so what did you/owner of horse do about it?
