my boy is on box rest till he heals 4-12 weeks and I'm on day 3 and hes going out of his tree in there hes getting bargy and stood on my OH feet this morning to get out.

Anyone know how to entertain him so he calms down? hes started kicking me when i put his cream on i understand its sore but he hasn't done this till 2today and he generally being a twit!

Mine has been on Box rest now for 3 weeks and is so far being a model patient. I pick him grass twice a day and leave it for him when I go home, he also has swedes hanging and a slat lick. I have also made sure he always has company which seems to be helping.

Be firm but fair with your horse, dont let him walk all over you or you will have a very difficult 12 weeks ahead!
