Thanks skinnydipper. Really interesting reading. The % of injuries stabled v turn out seems quite significant, but then I also see that 34% of those stabled have had their routine changed and are not normally stabled. I wander how many of those stabled injuries are in that 34% group. It has got me thinking, as mine are out at night all year round and I don't bring them in during fireworks. I think if I were to bring them in out of their routine, they'd already be thinking something isn't right and be on high alert.

Thank you.
My mare died in consequence of unannounced, 50th birthday pyrotechnics.
I think the only thing might revulse the public from fireworks now is some ghastly accident, like a manufacturer’s or retailer’s premises blowing up and causing absolute carnage in a populated area.
