Well It depnds on the type of cut. One of my horses (mahogany) has had a cut on his leg it did scar but only a little amount! If the cut has created a bald patch around the cut, if you think about it when the fur grows back (not always) It will cover the scar so you can see it no-longer. p.s If it is your horse and the cut it big seek medical advise! feel free to contact me If you have anymore questions!
