Thanks that’s really reassuring. I’m trying not to worry so good outcomes are very welcome! He went out briefly today while being mucked out and was good as gold. Can’t wait till he’s galloping round a big field!

The vet described it as ‘significant deviation’ at the knee then said ‘but not severe’ so I’m not sure what ‘significant’ really means

That;s reassuring.
He is galloping laps and bucking so he needs to be out! Hope we get out of 'wonky jail' soon.

Felix is such a monkey. He is so bold - has zero fear. He is doing bucking high speed laps of his stable so we have put him out for an hour to let him have a proper leg stretch. ONe vet said in for 2 weeks, the other said restrict so we have gone with restricting but not total rest. I think his legs look a lot straighter but vet is not reviewing till Wednesday.
He is gorgeous and my heart melts when I see how lovely Amber is with him. I'm so pleased she appears to love motherhood. She is so chilled and gentle.

The size of those joints ?
He is adorable though, lovely to see him out

Enya is proving to be a good tonic for me as I am having a terrible couple of weeks with my equines (lost my mule and now my homebred 5yr old is awaiting emergency surgery, unconnected)

I hope the surgery is successful TM, and commiserations on the loss of your mule. Enya looks like a lovely distraction, she is a very smart foal.

Thanks all, it’s just the perils of owning and loving animals. I’ve been very lucky really, but it’s being chucked at me in spades right now ?

Surgery went well so hopefully that’s the worst bit over and recovery will be straightforward- he sliced a massive chunk of his hind leg off in the field, lost a huge amount of blood and opened up a big hole into the fetlock joint but seems to have got away with not doing any soft tissue damage and hopefully not too much boney involvement, though surgeon said there is a risk part of the cannon has lost blood supply and will slough off, in which case he'll need another operation. Eurghh, horses. Why on earth would anyone breed more?!

That sounds tentatively promising TM, I will keep all my fingers and toes crossed that no further intervention is required and he makes a speedy and complete recovery.
