..... for Robbie
Just got in after calling the vet at 8pm.
Rob was tied up outside his box and spooked at something, pulling back, snapping his lead rope and then doing a bunk!
He cantered to the nearest field - which has a huge puddle infront of it.
His phobia of water shone through and he leapt sideways - up a boggy bank and sank
I caught him and he seemed fine - washed his legs off - no cuts etc.
As i walked of to switch hose off he started bucking / kicking out on the spot. Untied him and walked him forwards and he kept leaping and broncing behind - called vet at that point.
Vet came, sedated as we were getting nowhere near those lashing legs and had a prod - confirmed what i already thought that is is deep muscular damage.
He has had a variety of injections bless him and has pain killers, anti imflammetries (?).
Need to assess in morn whether i need vet back
So vibes please - he is going to be one VERY sore pony in the morning
