I have been offered a very pretty, very flashy tb at a stupidly low price. Brill confirmation but she has a small patch of sarcoids in between her back legs which has been dramatically reduced with treatment. I have never come across a horse with sarcoids so dont really know much about them. Will it affect a horses showing career? answers ASAP Please

mmm, sarcoids a def no-no in the show ring. There are ways and means of getting them 'burned off' but not having had much experience with them i'm not sure what product you'd use or who to contact. Not much help am i!!!!

We had a New Forest pony with sarcoids many years ago. When I moved to a different part of the country, I took her with me and the sarcoids disappeared. On moving to Breamore, nearly back where she was born the sarcoids did not reappear and I have been told that moving her out of her native area (so to speak) triggered the clearing up of the sarcoids. THis may, of course, be an old wives tale and it might have been just luck that they went away.

I have an Arab who had a Sarcoid just above the eye, Vet had to take pictures and they were then sent to Liverpool to Prof Knottenbelt, he is an authority on Sarcoids and can diagnose with pictures, ours came back saying we needed to use the Inoculation method, this involves injecting into the Sarcoid with the TB virus, involves 6 visits and is very expensive. We were lucky.....touch wood. I would be very wary of purchasing a Horse with a known Sarcoid condition. especially between the rear legs
