[RC] horse beans - Barb Peck

Oh yes.. beans.

It's an accumulation of smegma in the little pouch right at the tip of the 
peenie.

The size and color will be dependant on how long the stuffs been in there, and 
the size of the pouch itself is individual - 

The color can range from a cream color, to grey to brown, and the consistancy 
from gooey to extremely hard.

My Vet told me if the pee stream is comming out looking like a spray (as it 
comes out) then the horse may have a bean interferring (or inhibiting) the pee 
stream.

It's also an individual thing on how much smegma a horse makes.  I've had 
horses where I had to remove one twice a year, and others only about every 2 or 
3 years - and one horse that I never had too (becuase of his anatomy).
