Vet came out today and confirmed definitely a fracture. Will have to see how we go with cross tying whilst keeping her sedated :(

I've been googling horror stories about not cross tying them this morning :( she had lay down over night as shavings all in her tail but I did stupidly pull her bed down. I will just leave a light sprinkle of shavings down in future as she doesn't tend to lie down in the daytime with a light...

Thanks all, really appreciate it. It's not Sedalin that the vets have given me. I'll look into what I've got tomorrow and ask more about it on Friday. I wish she wasn't such an escape artist in the field. If I put her with other horses though, she's just too playful and they all get fed up of her.

Yes she's got classical on in the daytime and all lights and noise off at night. Vet has gave me sedation but said I shouldn't really be using for longer than a week. I'm hoping she won't need longer box rest than the 12 weeks they suggested even though I've not cross tied her :( she's not...

Just moved mirror to smaller stable and now she's not cross tied and can actually see herself in it, seems to have a good calming effect. I will just have to see what vet says when x-ray again on Friday but feel awful for her.

Not trotted her up but she's rearing, leaping around and dancing on it quite well and doesn't hesitate to kick the door with it. Vets are going to scan again towards end of the week when swelling gone down so hopefully they can see more.

Sorry forgot to say she's a nightmare in the field at getting out. Hence the injury in the first place :(

Yes vet doesn't want lying down but agreed cross ties are not suiting her. She is insured but doesn't cover stabling fees and it's £40/50 a night at vets.

Vet scanned at yard Friday and said possible fracture and bone chip but swelling makes it hard to tell. Seemed fairly certain but she's very sound on it. They didn't want to scan for another 6 weeks but I can't keep her cross tied for that long she's going to end up hurting herself.

Just looking for some help as worried I've gave up too soon. Horse got kicked and possible fracture just above front knee on radius along with a bone chip. Didn't discover this until third vet visit when went to take staples out and wanted to scan. He then said cross tie for 6 weeks then a...

green is all it says to me

LOVE the hunting photo, great work :)

Is it not possible that we are seeing more problems now due to the advances in diagnostics and research? I have always been interested in the fit of a saddle and can take a decent guess at if a saddle fits or not, but would rather leave it to the trained that are passionate about what they do...

The scabs are not inside the ear are they???

Several tried to fit my mums arab with saddles that were worse than what she already had too! I am waiting for a fitter to get back to me, if not I have someone else in mind who can come out in two weeks, but this means a new saddle. One of their saddles is on ebay and I'm biting my nails on...
