I have never heard of horse with poison oak
reaction but who knows? When my mare suddenly developed swollen, stocked up
legs, it turned out to be Tick Fever....did your vet check for
that?
Which ride was it and where so we can aviod it?

Is it possible for a horse (with
thin, sensitive skin & hair) to have a delayed reaction to poison oak? We
rode through a lot of it on a two day ride and a week later my horse
suddenly comes down with really swollen, stocked up legs. Kind of like
elephant legs, but not quite that bad. Vet is treating the symptoms with lasix
(sp) and steroids, but neither of us has no idea why she would suddenly
swell. Poison oak is the only reason that I can think of.
BTW, I'm covered in poison oak rashes
myself. I had no idea that the ride was so full of it.
