The Biggest Bean! + honorable mentions
Gelding horses and donkeys can get a collection of oils and skin cells in the pocket around their urethra that is commonly referred to as a bean. Most of the time a horse shows no signs of discomfort but occasionally a bean can get so large that it can cause behavioral issues or even impact normal urination. This is why it is recommended to clean your geldings sheath regularly. We offer discounted sheath cleanings with our dental procedures so that we can get a really good clean and remove any beans while your horse is sedated. This bean was removed from an older gelding after his dental. He was showing no signs but I’m sure he felt a whole lot better!
