Thought I would share this one with you, as you have been there for me on bad days of which there have been many and the good ones which are getting better, so now we have the lighter side of having a false leg.

I always tell you how great Ebony is and how she always looks out for me and seems to know that something is wrong with mum. Well I forgot to mention that when she does not get my attention she will bite the false leg to attract me, today she bit the leg and managed to b+++er the clip which helps me to bend the leg !! so think about this I am at the farm can not get in my car to drive as can not bend leg, only have a small 207, the only way as its a auto would to have driven with my leg out the window, not a good look, so friend with big 4x4 puts me on back seat laying across it, we drive to her house just up the road thank god, she parks up next to a bush on drive and opens door for me to ge out, der cant get out as leg will not bend, move car drag me out. Her husband mends all sorts of things so took leg off and off he goes with it slung over his shoulder down the garden to the shed the poor dog was scared half to death, and if anyone had seen him they would have thought he had done away with his wife and was getting rid of body parts !!

Thank god for him as he fixed my leg :) so was able to go back to farm where a butter would not melt in the muzzle Ebony was waiting for me. So moral of this story never let an Ebony get the clip on the leg. Sometimes you just have to laugh as many things I might have lost apart from my sense of humour, pointless post really but thought you might like a chuckle at my expense.
 
:D Shouldn't laugh really though! Your mare clearly has some character! Glad you got it fixed though, you are an inspiration to all and Ebony sounds like a lovely horse, if a little cheeky! :)
 
My mum had a false leg which was like a big heavy boot. She wore a suction sock thing on her stump with a ratchet spike on it which she pushed into the boot/leg and it clicked in. She sometimes wore tights which she tucked into the top of the boot and one day the tights got caught up in the ratchet bit and she couldn't get her leg off!!!. She had to sleep in it which was really uncomfortable and dad had to drive her to southmead Hospital the next day for her to get released!!. She did laugh about it.
 
The really made me chuckle especially the bit when 'he lung it over his shoulder' I have visuals! :D

Glad you got sort relatively quickly!

That did make me laugh, trouble is I am very tall so my leg is very long about 32 inside leg, never had one stuck on before bless her,have had the bloody thing fall off before which is not something I want to repeat lol :)
