Sometimes in the fall horses get little white eggs stuck to the hairs
on the inside of their legs and bellies. They are fly eggs. They can't
be pulled off using your fingers, they stick fast. Little teeny
things, almost oblong. Does that sound right?
Clippers takes the hair off, put the hair in the bin, don't compost it.
