I dont know if ive just been smacked with the unlucky branch but things seem to be going wrong at the moment ;0(
When I first bought my lad he was brill....nothing was wrong and he did so well....I took him on a sponsored ride in April this year and everything seemed to go wrong after that...he messed about in the trailer, reared, I broke my thumb and he cut his face and scared himself silly....
6 weeks ago I noticed he was lame in the field I had just started renting and discovered he had maybe fallen and pulled all his pelvis muscles....he had also managed to scratch his face to pieces which was open and ozzing....
He was signed off for a month but after 7 weeks I have still found he is lame and realise it is going to take a while for him to get better....his face is finally healing and luckily the vet was able to stitch it and the hair is growing back!!
The farrier came out today and said he also now has seedy toe....
I know they are nothing big but im just fed up....I rent two fields...one in the winter with a stable and a small piece of grazing and another bigger one for the summer...the small one is on a really busy road which stops me from riding at some points of the day and the bigger one is full of flies....I cant believe how many and its on a slope which is causing even more stress on my lad getting better faster....
I dont know what to do - move completely and start again with positive thoughts or just shut up and get on with it....!!
Positive vibes please.....
