how has he done this?

[LadyRascasse]

well he managed a whole 10days in work before going hopping lame again, but not from his previous problems this time my lad managed to cut his leg but i am at a lose as to how he has managed it in an electric fenced paddock???

Was he turned out with other horses? It looks like a kick (the curved shape).

 

[LadyRascasse]

can't be a kick as its on the inside of his off fore, yes he is out with my mare and she isn't a kicker

 

[lensmith7]

Could he have put his near fore through his off fore? Like a sort of slide down his leg?

Looks like he's hit into himself with the other foot.

Looks like he was probably chasing flies and did it himself! We have one at the yard at the minute he is a show horse and over the last 2 weeks he has cut himself twice, he is bandaged and goes out for short periods of time, yet he still manages it??

 

[Cliqmo]

I would guess a high overreach either with back foot or the other front

Why cant it be a kick because of where it is?

Hmmm...it could be a kick...inside off fore is where my lad had a fractured cannon bone. Not saying thats what it is mind.

Myhorse went out for 10 mins in winter while I skipped out - in a small post and rail paddock - on his own - and came in with a cut...I assumed it was a brushing injury cos of him looning about/rolling/prancing etc.

I agree, looks very much like a kick to me.
