If you don't wash buildup away periodically, dried sm**ma might form a potentially painful claylike ball of debris (called a "bean") at the end of the p***s. This material accumulates in the urethral diverticuli, which are the small pockets near the opening of the urethra (the tube that carries urine), at the end of the p***s.

"The urethral opening forms a high point with a little moatlike channel around it, and it is from this channel that a person can find the little openings to the diverticuli," explains Melinda Freckleton, DVM, of Haymarket Veterinary Service, in Haymarket, Va. "In adult horses these pockets are shaped like kidney beans and may be as much as an inch across. The beans will be lodged in these pockets."

Ultimately, the reason for cleaning the sheath and checking for (and removing) beans is "to make the horse more comfortable and avoid possible infection," says Freckleton.

Sending out this update, to all of my valued students, parents, boarders and friends. There have been many changes here at Rock Island over the last few months. We have said goodbye to several amazing horse friends, who have moved on, to new adventures of their own. I am so very honored for the support, trust and commitment that my students and boarders have given me, sticking with me, and our Rock Island family. And together we have officially moved to Lacloche farm on Lee Valley road! The farm is under new ownership by an enthusiastic new horse farm owner, who is excited to work hand and hand with Rock Island. Together we will continue to provide the quality horse care that we have always prided ourselves on.
This page is still the place to contact me regarding, riding lessons, trail rides, training, and birthday parties.
For Information on horse boarding please text me at 936-ROCK and i will send you in the right direction.
Pictures coming! ...(as soon as my camera can see through all this snow!)

16th, 17th, and today 18th birthday celebrated with Rock Island!! Love you Erica 💙
