A horse's digestive system is as fragile as crystal but the power of the skin to heal itself is shocking. Serious skin wounds often remain free of infection, provided they are not bandaged.
These are pictures of the same wild Corolla stallion taken a few months apart. He healed on his own. I suspect that the wound is the bite of a wild sow. I have seen several such wounds from Corolla. There are many wild hogs in the area. I know that my Corollas are aggressive when first exposed to hogs and will chase little pigs.
The best way to get off on the wrong foot with a sow is to chase her little one's.
