With respect. A horse is a thousand-pound creature that will still follow it's instincts if necessisary. It could easily hurt you. Of course, it doesn't. Horses are amazing creatures. You should feed them in a dish or feed bucket and not by hand because if you keep feeding them treats by hand they might think that you have a treat when you don't and bite you. The horse doesn't mean to bite you, they just think yuou have a treat.

∙ 14y agoIf your horse has a wound that is infected, I'd definitely take it to a vet. That way they can give them antibiotics to stop the infection. Afterwards I'd suggest regular cleaning of the wound and maybe a bandage to keep it clean. You can tell when your horses wound is infected when it has an awful smell to it, and when it looks dirty and is gooey.

How do you take care of horse wounds?
Wound care depends entirely on the wound. If the wound is open and/or infected, you need to call your vet immediately to have it looked at and cleaned. If the wound is smaller (like a bite wound or a scrap from something) then make sure to simply keep it clean. You can try spraying an antiseptic on it to keep it from getting infected, but the most important thing is to keep it clean and to keep flies away from it so that it can heal. If you can't see the wound (for example, horse is limping with no apparent reason), and you can't figure out what is causing your horse's pain, it's best to call someone who would be able to check the horse out (either a barn manager, trainer or the vet). It is always better of being safe than sorry, especially with an animal as large as a horse.
