At the beginning of August this year we reported a young filly who had a hernia. After a discussion with her owner it was agreed she could come into the yard and we would treat the hernia. She was a local pony and after a little reassurance she finally came in on her own accord. She is a lovely girl and is not afraid of us humans, she has already let us stroke her, check her teeth, legs and feet as well as allowing a vet to feel her hernia. The vet felt a hole which will need to be monitored, it is highly likely this pony will need a little operation in order to stitch the hole up. The filly is around 2 and a half years old so it is possible she could be pregnant. She will have a pregnancy test in the following weeks to establish if she is or not, we will decide on her treatment once we have the results.
