Now i know this is not the norm from yards ive been on my horse attacked another horse as she smashed her stable door down shes on box rest as has laminitis at the moment was due out of stable on friday. Im moving yards today as soon as vet can sedate her to a private yard where she is no risk to anyone. She has a abused background and doesnt like children so was moving anyway.

I want to offer to pay for vet to look at other horse that she hurt he seems ok not lame but i know the owner doesnt work and cant afford bill end of day it was my horse that did this ok if it happened out in field would be different. Have vet back out again at 6 as he has been out once to give sedalin until he can sedate her later. Would you offer to pay?
 
Have you spoken to the other owner??

Does she feel the need for a vet, or are you fretting something over nothing, as horse kick/bite each other all the time.

If the horse has quite severe injuries I would definatley be offering to pay for vet treatment, however im sure my horse insurance does cover this under 3rd party.

Its the same as If your horse had damaged someone elses rug, would you offer to replace it?? I would.
 
Well at old yard it was always my horse getting attacked so had hunderds of vets bills in space of 2 weeks thats why i moved in first place.

The horse has cut down leg owner had someone look at it and they said deep but clean it out. I know when mine had cut like that she had stitches so think he does need vet to be safe he didnt look lame on it but if it gets infected etc. Owner is a friend as well which makes it worse.
 
I think you're being very responsible, I'd get the cut looked at if for no other reason as it would put your mind at rest. Poor pony must be very upset to act like that, hope you all get sorted soon.
