Belena has about eight dime and nickel-sized melanomas under her tail, too. When I groom her tail I make sure to start from the bottom to minimize snags the closer I get to the tailbone, and I use a generous amount of detangler first. I've been fortunate that I've never scratched any of them open.
I don't groom my horses much either except for feet picking, shed blading, and hand-detangling any fairy knots. They look like hippies LOL but they're 24/7 pasture and will just roll as soon as they're put back after a grooming, anyway.
Does Belena only have them on her tail? Elle's biggest one is the tail, and it's slightly larger than a golf ball. She's got some others on the tail, her rump, and behind her ear.
Belena also has one about the size of a chickpea on her chest and a few around her anus. She has had two removed, one from her neck and one the size of a baseball from behind her udder.

Absolutely! Although now Elle doesn't have dreds anymore. :( I suppose I can paint rainbows on her. ;)
