My horse had an accident on Saturday when her leg went through a cattle grid and got stuck.
Miraculously there are no broken bones, but there is a very deep laceration down to the bone which couldn't be stitched.
Vet has said it's going to be a case of bandaging for the next 6-8 weeks - this is fine in this glorious weather but wanted to find out of anyone had tips for keeping a bandage clean and dry in the field.
I asked the vet if I should find a stable for her but he seemed to think it would be fine-even in the rain. I'm slightly more dubious!! She also hates being in so I would be afraid she would do more damage in the stable than in the field.
I can probably make her an area on gravel, so it's not so much mud as just general wetness is the problem!
