Pop Quiz:

Question? What do white hairs over a horse's withers typically indicate?

a. the horse is getting old

b. the saddle, saddle pad or blanket is putting damaging pressure on the skin in that area

c. the horse has a genetic predisposition to white spots

d. a mineral deficiency

Answer

b. When pressure damages a hair follicle, a normal-colored hair may fall out and be replaced by a white hair. The sudden appearance of white hairs calls for an urgent evaluation of how your horse's tack and/or blankets fit. Pressure intense enough to cause white hair will also cause pain and, possibly lasting nerve damage in that area.

Please make sure gates are securely latched. You are responsible for the safety of your horses wellbeing and the other horses in the shared living space. Please take the time and make sure the gate or stall is locked securely.
