bloody things

[d_s]

we keep 3 horses at the back fields (there all in together, my pony, an ID hunter and another mare); we can go in one way where we dont walk through horses fields.
but we normally go through the two front fields when the horses arent in there (its quicker)
today we went to bring in and the 4yo showjumper in front of our field had got into our field, and has a small cut on its coronet.
the gates broken again!!!! (big metal 5 bar)
my pony is fine, the hunter is fine but the other mare isnt.
shes got two cuts on her cheek, one is massive and you can see the bone.

the vets coming at 2

we have no idea what happened
but its all gone a bit tits up. the hunter galloped off with me yesterday when i was bringing it in. mum managed to keep hold of my pony, and the hunter came back to us.

i dont know what to do, i feel sick
:-(

doesnt make sense really.

Hope everthing went well with the vet. Is there anything that could have got caught on the gate? Maybe a rug adn then once pulled off they cut themselves on it in a panic?
It will probably be one of those things you never figure out.
Vibes for the horses though

the vet stictched her up
the gate apparently was all twisted up in the electric fencing and stuff.... the gate was off its hinges, bent in the middle and wrapped up in the electric fencing

the 4yo was only meant to be out for an hour :s

both the mares were being tarts though... but my pony seemed fine and pretty chilled

no idea how it happened, but were going to have a box on both sides of the gate...
so you have to get in the box, and then out the gate, and into another box and out of it....
thank you

OK call me thick but I have no idea what you mean a box and then out the gate and another box. Whats the box for??

to stop the horses getting to each other over the fence
(basically a box (square) around each side of the gate made with electric fencing)
