🐎Trigger warning 🐎
The horse that this bean belonged to, was due to be PTS. The owner had heard of beans but was told my a number of people to ‘leave well alone’ and ‘don’t be like these silly women, obsessed with cleaning horses willies’.

This horses behavioural issues had become so horrendous and every check had been done and nothing could be found. The owner of this horse absolutely thought she was doing the kind thing for a miserable horse, that barely wanted to walk without a rider on, no chance anyone could get on him anymore. He was sad and unhappy and you could see it in his face.
Thankfully her friend was having us out the next week and told her, what has she got to lose but a few quid.

We felt this bean immediately, and the horse knew exactly what we were trying to do. Within less than a minute, this bean was out and you could see an immediate change in the horse. So much so it brought a tear to our eyes.

You can laugh, you can think us sheath cleaners are silly, but at least get your horse checked for beans if you never have. In this case it was literally life or death.

Horse is now very happy and back to his old self 🤍

And before anyone says anything about being a bad horse owner, please understand that some people are made to feel utterly stupid by others for believing that beans are real. Because surprisingly some think they are a myth 😂

We get alot of questions regarding sheath cleaning and why its important.
So I figured I would go over a few of the most asked.

How often does my horse need it's sheath cleaned?

The truth is only once or twice a year. They naturally clean themselves but, over time that natural lubricant collects dirt and debris and becomes built up which can lead to a line of problems if not taken care of.

How do I know if my horse is due for a Sheath cleaning?

Well to answer that you have to be very visible on your horse when they drop to p*e.
Is there visible buildup or flakiness?
Is there sm**ma buildup on the belly or inside the hind legs? Then yes! Your horse needs a sheath cleaning!

What happens if I don't have my horses sheath cleaned?

Well a multitude of things, Just like in humans when we are uncomfortable we can get grouchy and irritable. Well the same goes for horses! It can lead to problems urinating due to buildup blocking the uretha as well as make them extremely uncomfortable and can lead to all sorts of behavioral issues.
I mean who wants to workout with dirt or hay in your undercarriage!?
