I'm keeping it real, folks, this is the

grossest

part

of

owning

horses

. This is one of those videos where I'm going to go ahead and post this little disclaimer. Parental discretion is advised with this video. This video is something I feel is very important for all horse owners, regardless of age, to watch, but everyone is a little different, so something I feel comfortable watching with my kids may be something someone Most you are not comfortable watching with your children, so parents, please be aware and watch this video before allowing your children to watch it. I'm going to show you all about

cleaning

the case and if you have a gelding, unfortunately it's something that needs to be done, so this is a bare bear gelding and the bear needs a case cleaned every year.

I'm going to tell you a little story about my experience with neuters and why it is important to clean their sheets. Several years ago, I was actually pregnant when I had a horse named akka ho. Donahoe started limping and we couldn't figure it out. why she was limping and I actually had the vet do it, we did a lameness exam, we did x-rays of everything that could have been the problem and in the end the bear got some. This is really good training right now because the bear wants to I left and I told him no we're just going to sit here so he just finished eating this grain and he's a little impatient while the vet was checking the x-rays he didn't find anything that could be causing the viscosity and I remembered a story a friend told me years ago about how her horse was mysteriously lame, they couldn't figure it out and they cleaned his

sheath

and found a very large beam pit, so while the vet was here being That I was pregnant

cleaning

his sheets wasn't something I was willing to

part

icipate in and that's why it hadn't been done, but we do it, we do it at least once a year anyway, depending on the horse, the vet did an exam exhaustive of the

sheath

of this horse and everything that goes. along with that and I found a being the size of a quarter now for those of you who know what a bean is and where it comes from understand that the size of the entire place it is located is not that big so this bean was the size of a quarter and the vet had to split it into four or five pieces to get it out and magically the next day suddenly the horse is no longer lame so here I spent all this time and energy and money on I checked this horse and all it was was a beam that was causing this problem so I learned my lesson and there are no two with geldings, if there is something that looks like you know sore in that general area and in the back of the horse, I immediately go to check if there is a beam, it is really important and today we have dr.

Rebecca Vollrath with us, copper country engineering and what's up with the sheep? Oh it's good to give them a major cleaning every year because they get really dirty and the beams are very uncomfortable and can even cause falls if they are big enough and obstruct your ability to urinate and Cleaning them is usually difficult without sedation so I often It is done at the same time as your flow. For visualization purposes, can you show me exactly where to look for a beam so that the urethra is right here and there is the urethral support cock here in this part of the holes? where I'm sticking my fingers in and they can store a beam anywhere in that whole area so you have to dig a little bit and there are some things that I just talked about, yeah, okay, they don't always appreciate it, they will too.

Be careful, smegma is some kind of crunchy substance that I'm peeling off and everything that is concrete is together and it gets stuck in that pit and forms a beam. I have to tear it into pieces, it smells so bad it's probably crunchy in relationships or anything. Cuffy's cover is super swollen from all the mud we've had, the

horses

haven't moved much so they'll go over it a little while they clean it but that should go away as soon as it starts moving bigger. count hmm, so tired, he eats candy, he has no sheets compared to that big gelding, oh yeah, he's going after me, mechanic, you see the lips breaking into small pieces, I won't include you smelling him, yeah, and the horses we worry about squamous cells with them, okay?

I don't feel anything deep down or see anything on the outside here, but if it ever clicks for you, I'll try to figure it out. You can always try to keep an eye on it if you notice it. any major scab is okay, come on, okay, important, I don't see anything here here is the beam that just came out of Diego having geldings as disgusting as he is, something we need to do is force the owners. I feel very lucky about that. I only have two geldings. Many people ask me: well, you know? They are geldings and they are both ponies.

The bear is one of them and Lucky is still a Dean girl that I have, but still, that being said, I make sure to check them very well and a good time to do it is when the dentist. When the vet comes, he comes to do dental work on the horses because they are sedated and that allows you to come in and do what you need to do. If you don't feel comfortable cleaning your horse's sheath, you can definitely ask your veterinarian to do it. take care of it, well, that's all. I hope you found this video helpful, maybe a little interesting, maybe a little unpleasant, maybe you'll never want to own a gelding again.
