bloody horse!!

[Vicki_Krystal]

why is it that some horses think everything is a game??

my youngster came in from the field looking slighty sore but not lame on his off fore. thinking he may of trodden on something i picked out his feet ( he is un shod at present so does sometimes get sore)

anyway this didnt help so i checked his legs and found a very teeny tiny swelling - so tiny i had to poke it several times to see if it was there or not!

so i bandage both front legs after hosing them and put him to bed.
come back to stable and both bandages were off!!
put them back on - brought haynet back and i caught him in the act of pulling them off again!!

so he is now unbandaged!!

made me laugh - just thought id share!!

I had the same problem when Star stood on a nail, there was no WAY his poultice and bandage was staying on!

My boy is doing the same but he has just had surgery and I dont want the bandages off .I have tried elastic tail bandages they seem to work better.
