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.
I'm glad to hear that I'm Not the only groomer by need around here! Diamond hates water, so baths are off the table and really? grooming every day? Crazy! lolz
Tumor bleeding? omg - I'd have passed out! HUGSHUGS
Oh, no kidding. No way would I groom that often. And baths with soap isn't all that good for their coats, anyway, so there. lolol Although I do rinse James off if he's gotten sweaty while riding.
Diamond doesn't like water itself, or the whole hose/wash stall thing?
Tumor bleeding? omg - I'd have passed out! HUGSHUGS Thanks. *hugsback* No passing out, but definitely hysterical. eek.
She doesn't even come near the stock tank when I'm filling it up! She has let me sponge her off before, but she does her best to knock me with her teeth so I'm think she hates the whole thing! Horses!
I am doing o.k....waiting on word after my last job interview...I applied for headnurse/midwife of one of our wards. There is one other applicant, but I have already been invited for a second interview, so I am hopeful...you?

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