Location: WI		I would advise taking to a vet well versed in bleeders. The house should be in antibiotics or you can end up with bad infection and I believe lung scaring. Yes, snorting is a symptom of the bleeding. Clearing his throat basically

Location: Muskogee, OK		   For a short answer, yes.  Bleeders will snort and the fact that you saw a blood trickle coming out of the nose is pretty much almost a sure fire diagnosis.  Could the blood be coming from the nasal passage?  Yes, but unlikely.  More likely it is coming from the lung.  I would recommend getting your horse scoped as soon as you can after a run.  If you have to wait a little while, they can still scope your horse but the likelihood of it being diagnostic goes down.  However, they still can do a bronchoalveolar lavage and retain fluid that will help aid in a definite diagnosis (they look for cells that ingest and "clean up" the RBC's--- "hemosiderophages")

   ALOT of horses bleed when they run.  It is a VERY small majority that you will actually see blood coming from the nose--and this is important because it means you dont have to necessarily see blood from the nose for your horse to be bleeding---why it is very important to get them worked up and get the problem under control if you suspect it at all.

Good luck!

 Thank you ladys for the help. Just waiting for the vet to call me. I put him on antibiotics and now will wait to find out when its ok to ride or run or what to do exactualy. He dosnt make the blowing noise unless he geys pretty excited and it normaly happens after the 2nd barrrel and then dosnt stop till i stop him but i hardly ever run him fast or do fast drill work. And this was the only time i ever seen any blood. So i thought it had to be related to the blowing! Well. Thank you for the input now i pray this will not be terible in cost.....
