Ice hurts!

[Gluttonforpunishment]

Ok so we all know it is icy and to be careful but last night I managed to hit a patch of ice under the snow and went a over t in the yard.

Landed flat on my back sandwiched between the backs ends of both my 16.2hh mare and my 13.2hh pony. Both were absolute gems and didn't move a muscle whilst I clambered to my feet. Bless them for being so well behaved I was in the direct firing line of both their back hooves.

This morning I have several large bruises but thankfully nothing broken.

Am very grateful I found it and not the girls - yard now got a coating of straw to aid grip for both equine and human!

Ice hurts!!!!!

Ouch!

You need to get some cat litter. Dump a good pile on any icy patches and you'll be able to walk on them, no problem.
