Anyone else have a self harmer!?

Horse is driving me crackers, I swear EVERY time he goes out, whether it be the pen or field, he comes in with a cut/graze/bite or other injury of some kind! I'm starting to dread putting him out, but he has a brilliant time out and loves playing so keeping him in isn't something i'll consider. Just wondering if anyone else has one of these, I fear we're going to have to join the cotton wool brigade! He's rugged, booted, unshod, fields are well fenced and secure, but somehow he manages it! I'm currently feverishly applying cornucresine to about 5 little nicks and healing cream to 2 cuts. Arghhh! x

Yep. My brown horse is a useless beast and can't seem to even stand still without hurting himself!

Is he a TB by any chance? It's their favourite hobby!

Yep! Mine likes to only be a prat in Summer when the ground is really hard and he will do things like throw a splint, come in lame, come in covered in cuts from trying to climb out the hedges etc etc - in winter he just likes to get realllyyyyy dirty and choke a lot

Yes me too! I have an old anglo arab who is forever getting new things wrong with him. It is the yard joke that he has a book of equine ailments and is going through ticking each one off the list, trying to collect them all!
