[Bowen4Horses]

a picture tells a thousand words:

my darling sweet Raff has been untied after 7 weeks and 2 days of being cross tied.

very very happy owner alert.
oh, and rather chuffed Raff... he's had a good lie down for the first time since breaking his leg.

three cheers for Raffy for getting this far!

 

[EmmaJaneWilliams]

Well done! He is looking happy so I know that's half the battle! Keep up the good work!!

Have two What excellent news, well done to him and you, I bet you are still a bit frazzled by it all.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Well done Raff!!

I bet he enjoyed his lie down/roll after all that time.

Did you clip him in the end to stop his itching?

 

[finkle]

Trumpet fanfare from here! Fantastic news...Im sure you have been to hell and back with worry.

Love conquers all.......and Raff looks amazing and happy... onwards and upwards from now.

Fabulous, he's looking so well. So pleased for you both xx

 

[kerilli]

[ZorroR]

Went through a similar thing with my horse last summer (spiral fracture from knee to fetlock) and it took him 10 days to attempt a roll. He didnt poo on his bed for 5 days as he had been x-tried for so long. Bless. Hes now as sound as he ever was.

Hope your fella goes from strength to strength.

slinks - yes, i clipped him (apart from head as i thought it was providing some relief from 24/7 headcollar wearing) and it helped massively with itching. also, got some FL aloe vera spray and that's helped lots too.

kerilli - he curled up in a little ball and snoozed. however, he then decided to do gynastics. remember i said i'd never seen a horse other that your young 'uns behave like that in a stable...? well, raff has done it done. vertical rear to buck... to rear to buck... etc.

mrussel - it's lovely to hear of full recoveries. raff broke his radius, up at the top. we thought it was spiral to begin with but turned out it was line fracture. so glad your horse is fixed!

thank you for lovely kind thoughts y'all.

no leading out yet cos vet gave him a sedation jab... but it hasn't kicked in... it doesn't seem to have done much (judging by the bucking/rearing/farting he was doing in his stable earlier!)

so, back to the drawing board. i do have a couple of sedalins so might just try them. *gulp*

 

[RSL]

great news.

 

[Mrs B]

Such a great thing to hear about and to see his happy little face! Well done both of you!
