Knew I didn't know much but this taught me I am so out of schooling with horses, yet, I love them so much and I have had a good response with those I've been with. I definitely don't know the lingo.

My Icelandic pony was bit on the nose by a rattlesnake. The swelling was so bad she couldn't breath so she started breathing through her mouth. Icelandics are know to breath through their mouth.

That's interesting, the horse's anatomy doesn't allow them to breathe through their mouths and that's true for every breed. So I'm not sure what happened there but I would love to find out more 😊
