My gelding has one, vet checked it out and said not to worry about it. But surgery could cost anywhere from $500 - $1,200 on it.

Accident Prone Posts: 22277 Location: 100 miles from Nowhere, AR	My mare had a small umbilical hernia when I bought her as a yearling. It closed on its own before I could get it repaired. I don't think that's normal tho. Edited by Three 4 Luck 2015-05-13 8:02 AM
