I recently recieved a very nice appy that was a prior race horse. He was extremely malnourished but has steadily been putting on wieght. he has a nice coat but he is completely bumpy on his skin. I was told this is called flea bitten grey. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. He is a nine year old papered thourobred gelding.

If he is a registered TB, then he is not an appy, sorry. ![[Wink]](wink.gif) As for his bumps, a flea bitten grey is a color, white horse with tiny brown dots, which are not raised in any way. If your horse has lumps, then it sounds like hives, bug bites or an allergy.

Only those who risk going too far, will ever know how far they can go.
