Little Lad is Lame

[MrsMozart]

Poor little chap, although I have to say he looks perfectly happy

. Young lad got on him yesterday and walked to the paddock and he (pony) just looked wrong behind. So hoiked the poor lad off (let him ride Little Cob instead) and tried to trot up LL.

He was lame behind, very small amount of heat and a little bit of swelling in near hind fetlock. Cold hosed both hind legs (sometimes I get leg lameness confused, so err on the side of caution!). Left him in. Walked him out today. Slightly worse.

Rang my lovely vet today. So he's on box rest 'till Wednesday, Bute today and tomorrow. Call vet again on Wednesday and report. She thinks it's a sprain. He's not in tons of pain (quite happy to troll about eating the carpark grass

). Hubby is rolling his eyes. Sharer had just told me that she's not sure about sharing him as he aint a firt pony - lead rein or second pony lol.

Ah well. Ponies! Don't y'just love 'em

Lots of hugs from me

 

[spookypony]

Aww, poor Little Lad! (((vibes))) that he gets sound again quickly!

 

[MrsMozart]

I know. He asked if you would be so kind as to send sugar free Polos

Was going to clip him this weekend, but the days ran away with us - as ever! He looks rather scumptious clipped

Poor Little Lad. Hope he is all mended soon.

Big (((hugs))) and (((vibes))) for LL, hoping he'll be better and up to his antics very soon x

Hope it's nothing serious and he's fixed in a couple of days. You and your ponies MrsM- i suppose the odds are higher if you've got a clan as big as yours though.

Hope he gets better and it's just a sprain - you know what bloody horses are like in the field....they seem to all be going nuts at the moment!

 

[MrsMozart]

Thankies folks

. Yup, have a Hairy Gang and the odds are that one of them will be wonky

. Just thankful when it's only one that's wonky

.

Daughter is enjoying riding LC more, and Dizz a bit, and a good number of the other neds on the yard

.

Poor Little Lad, I'm going to have to do something with him - when he's sound!

 

[MrsMozart]

PR - I was thinking that only today

. The mares were hooning around like loons on legs. Thought I was never going to catch the Dizz (good job she's a sucker for a carrot lol).

LL normally stays out of the giddy stuff, takes away eating time

, but new horses going into the herd so he may well have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, daft bat.
