Young Pony with Hernia

A member of our yard team came across this pony and noticed she had a large abdominal hernia, she alerted a member of the welfare team who came out to assess. Although the hernia is quite large the pony is otherwise in good health. They also knew who the ponies owner was so contacted him immediately, he agreed the pony could come into our care for treatment. Most hernias do not cause a problem however the only way to establish how bad it is is to have a vet look at it. Once the filly has come into our yard and has settled we will have our vet treat it.
