I only had a very quiet panic to myself when I saw my 3 legged horse hobbling over the field to see me. Last time he was this lame he was in surgery 2 days later.
I have an amazing farrier who, on a friday night, was out inside a half hour to check what I suspected. And I was right.
Poor boy was so sore he stood bolt upright twice during getting the shoe off, but the offending bit has been found. He now has an all wrapped up foot and is living in the lunge pen for a bit.
Typical that for xmas i got a whole kew set of posh show gear and were bookes into my first comp of the year on saturday!!!
But my lad will be fine and I am lucky in that I have the choice of 2 stand-ins. The 15hh, 15hh wide proper hairy coloured cob or my sisters 18hh slightly bonkers tb!! The tb can can canter a circle, but the cob will defo stop cantering!!! Choices, choices!!!!
Cow was very happy to not have to share the hay though!!
