Alright. I feel I know you guys entirely too well after this thread. We have 3 geldings. Rascal has never been cleaned, other than a warm hose shoved in there , and the 3 times I saw him drop i peeled off 2 o 3 flakes, otherwise he was clean. My 15 month old is as clean as a whistle, well I did peel off 3 flakes, quickly of course. Then my daughter tb. She has to clean him all the time, and and he stinks and is gross. I suspect its like bo, some have it bad, some not at all. Sooo how do mustangs clean themselves? A trainer I know says horses who are stalled seem to have more of a problem.. . .Laurie an Rascal(who is a clean boy, thank heavens!) ----- Original Message ----- From: Irene M Burnett Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 1:26 PM To: Ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] Sheath?

In reply to what if you never clean it----my vet has had gelding come into her clinic with maggots in their sheath; inflamed and swollen and I doubt if it could get any grosser than that. Is that a pretty good reason? Renie
