Broken or Bruised?

[Trakehner]

Lots of rain and mud...brought one of my guys in to clean him.

Anyway, vacuum him to get the fuzz off, go to turn him and and "Squish!", he steps on my toes. Down I go, his pulling back actually helps pull me to my feet...and then the drama we've all been through....broken or bruised?

Limp back to my car, sit down and...Hmmmmm, don't seem broken and not bruised, just scraped nicely. Phew, dodged that bullet. Several hours later two toes are a lovely shade of purple...not broken, just squished. Sigh...and the day was going so well.

Nothing earth shattering, and kind've horse related...sure glad it was muddy and the boy doesn't wear shoes. Pretty purple colour though.

Ouch ! Your poor toes. Like the idea of vacuuming your horse though, my youngster is a wooly mammoth at the moment.

Feeling your pain! I have broken my foot too, but I stood on nags hoof...it's official they do have hard feet!
Anyhow I have just had an hours hack in the sunshine today.....can't let a small thing like a break get in my way! Do take Arnica it works wanders for the bruising.
