Rode yesterday morning 830am. Got a good workout, got some air moving but not enough to even make her sweat. Honestly when I took the saddle off I felt dumb for wasting our time by not giving her a good workout lol.
Anywho, hosed her off, cleaned stalls, fed and went home. At 630p when I went to feed dinner I noticed a small amount of dilute blood coming from her nose. Not bight red, but blood colored. I wiped the inside of her nose and it was just clear/ dirt.
I'm at a loss...
ETA she has been in a stall on shavings for a little over a month now with daily turnout for a few hours due to being at a trainer and my current barn situation.

I had a horse like that at a barn i use to work at, it just turned out to be a sinus infection . Antibiotics cured it fine. I really hope that's just the case! There is always the concern of a tumor, I suggest having a vet out just to be safe .

Have her scoped just in case she is a bleeder, but I had a mare that would do it one time every year this time of year. We had her scoped ect and found nothing. Allergies is what caused her's was the final diagnosis from two vets. We put neosporne in her nose this time of year and she took anti-hist for a month every year
