Hair Regrowth On Horses
Horse hair regrowth???
My appaloosa horse was out in the pasture today and got some pretty nasty looking bites.
There are three of them (right where the saddle sits!!!) about the size of baseballs. The skin is not pierced but they are bald, sore, and tender and he has pink skin.
Will the hair regrow normally? How long will it take? Will I be able to ride him, and if so how long should I wait?
It will take probably about a month to completely regrow to the length of the haircoat surrounding it. I would give him a couple days off to make sure his back isn’t sore before riding him again. One thing that does help keep skin healthy and protected (especially in summer, but it works in winter too) is to smear Vaseline over the exposed skin. Be aware that it does catch a TON of dirt, so the surrounding hair will be dirt colored until you can give a bath (or it sheds out, since it’s getting close to spring).
To help evade such nasty bites in the future, you could consider putting your horse out with just a fly sheet to protect him a little more, IF that is safe in your pasture and IF it’s not possible to remove the bully horses.
