So nice to be doing just as many mares as geldings!
Yea mares get Beans too!!
Mares get beans in and around their cl****is. They're not comparable to boy beans in terms of size but can still cause discomfort. They also have a number of small pockets of skin just inside their ge***al areas which fill up with calcified urine, dust, and dirt. Which can all be a constant source of irritation.
Not all mares or geldings show signs of having beans as they come to live with having this build up, however some signs that your mare may have a ‘bean’ that needs removal is if she’s itchy and rubbing her tail a lot (but you know you’ve wormed her), or even bucking or kicking which is out of character. Grumpy being groomed or touched around her teats.
Just like the geldings not all mares produce beans but most do.
Not forgetting their udders too! The udders produce a build of sweat, dirt, oils which turns to a hard waxy build up, making it very uncomfortable causing irritation, and pinching. This must be bathed with warm water and water based lubricants to bring this substance away gently. You most certainly don’t want to pull and pick at it!
