Argh.
This is more to share with people who understand than for any real advice, but 2 months post check ligament injury Ive had to chuck my small brown pony back out with the herd.
He injured himself on stable rest, so went in a pen. He injured himself on his own in the pen so gave him a friend. All was well for 7 weeks, then his friend had to go back out.
Cue pony having a breakdown - not like he was on his own either, put another of his field buddies in!
Ok...plan B. Grass strip with new friend. Fine for 24 hours. Then the fence walking starts. Then he breaks the fence and goes for a hoon. ARGH! Sound, but there is puffyness back in the ligament again.
Day 3 of plan B after 15 sedalin. Back legs bleeding and a broken fence. Looks like he double barrelled at it.
So cant keep him quiet in confined space and hes doing too much damage to himself so have turned him out with the herd.
Fingers crossed for him. Sometimes you just have to do the best you can with what you have. I so wish you could tell them.
