My 14 year old mare feels the need to urinate after a workout. It does not happen during every ride it seems to happen during a strenuous training session and it's usually always towards the end of the ride. Then she will go again immediately after the ride once in her stall. This pattern doesn't usually happen during the winter months even though she is still in full training. Once spring arrives it starts so I thought maybe it had to do with her heat cycle. However the fact that she does it during a hard ride makes me wonder if she has back or hock issues. The farrier tells me she sometimes seems sore in her hocks when he's working on her. But why wouldn't she also urinate during work in the winter? She drinks quite a bit of water but I wouldn't say an excessive amount and when she does urinate it is clear, odorless, and an average amount. Any thoughts?

my guy has begun to start a pattern - we have a short little ride after his arena workout - about a mile not much more but we take it really slow and nibble grass and such - same ride every time to relax him. he has started to stop and poop in the same general area then on a hill (geldings love to pee on hills) he stops about the same area again to pee. I don't think its unusual - i am just grateful he is doing it out side of his arena and I don;t have to clean it up later!
but yea total after work out pattern.
