sent to try us

I am having a hell of a yr at the mo

firstly horse broke on friday...plus side - swelling gone down and he did extended trot across the field(rather he hadnt but hey,lol) this eve and looked pretty sound

,can have another week then we will start hacking in walk

Thought would tie him with a haynet to coldhose his leg and the bugger started choking on the 1st mouthful

,well there was phlegm everywhere...i panicked(has had choke before but only mild)phoned vet....bugger me 20mins later he had cleared it and was stood falling asleep,lol...fortunately vet hadnt arrived so cancelled them,how embarrassing,lol

just hoping i have had my share for many a year to come now

Most definitely sent to give us something to worry about!
My horse has had choke twice - he has cleared it on both occasions within 30 mins then calmly carried on grazing without a care in the world while I'm still a nervous wreck shaking like a jelly!
That's horses for ya!

i know,lol...spoke to yard owner and will be a lot more at ease next time,vet told her...99% of horses have probably had choke at some point in their stable at night and we would never know about it...other than the strange splats of saliva all over

....i now think my lad has had it over night without me knowing as on the very odd occasion his bed has been a mess...1st thing he does if i dont walk him is try and roll...today was trying to roll on concrete

,daft bugger!!Still all is well fortunately
