E and Monte had to skip their riding lesson last night. It appears that Monte has been repeatedly bitten by either some sort of vicious fly or bees. There are big lumps near his withers, in the brown spot he has there. And it seems to be painful for him.
He was quite agitated whenever we tried to touch the spot, twitching and moving away quickly whenever his skin was brushed there. Poor pony!
So, we'll be keeping an eye on him and be more regular with the fly spray in the coming weeks.
