Gah !! Returned to this ....

So back late last night from the glous meet, Got a call yesterday morning to say that missy had ripped her rug off, The rug really should have been off her but thats a whole other story ..... but anyways .......

Rug was found like this .....

All missy had on her was the neck cover which "was" permantly attached to the rug , Its still a mystery as to what has happened

Checked on her this morning as she was in, Brought her out to have a look at her and her hind legs are both swollen and abit of heat in them, Im unsure as to what has happened, Im thinking shes obviously giped about with the whole rug incident

and sprained or hurt her legs in someway and with her standing in they have just puffed up .

So I have hosed them down and put her out into the field to let her walk out on them see if they will go down this way .

There is no obvious cuts, So its all abit of a mystery .

Just a pic of her back legs , Now shes not got alot of bone so you can see quite abit of swelling or well looking at the preview of the post, you can't see alot

but seeing it , she does have quite alot swelling . ...

Horses! Turn your back for a minute and they get into all kinds of trouble! Hope the swelling goes down quickly


Maybe she got caught up on something and became tangled?

 

[teabiscuit]

the little minx, she really didn't want that rug on did she?

 

[RLF]

Omg, what a little Diva, did she not like the colour???

Obviously not

Mrs_magoo , It certaintly looks that way but I hate not know what happened , It bugs me .

 

[only_me]

she really is turning out like her little (half

) brother!
Merlin went through a phase of ripping rugs

then he stopped all of a sudden

looks as though she had rolled and got her leg in either the x straps/fillet string, and then yanked herself free

lol

wouldnt worry about the swelling, will probably go down in a few days

 

[CastleMouse]

Blimey, I don't think she liked that rug!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Thing is C , According to hubbie the surcingles were still closed over .... Friggin houdini would not have a look in .

CM you think ???

 

[DipseyDeb]

Well it's obvious...you said yourself that the rug shouldn't have been on!! She must have decided she was fed up waiting and did it herself!!

Its the rug-removing leprechauns again - they were here last year when I found a rug in the field still nice done up but without a horse in it. They must have migrated north!

 

[HEIDI2303]

Sounds like the mystery surrounding Chelsea (my mare) and one rug which was on her when I turned her out but was found in the next field, still fully done up - front buckles, crossed surcingles still done up - rug just seemed to have blown off of her
