Nice morning pottering round the yard, mum came down to meet Chance, tacked up and rode, only did 15 mins as it was so hot, gave him a lovely bath and pampering session then he and May were grazing, they absolutely love each other!
Popped to see my nanna in the afternoon, got back to the yard, both happily grazing as I unlocked/opened the gates then Chance went all funny and fell on the floor, then went flat out, I ran over, he looked wierd, ran back to my car for my phone and yelled to Janet across the road who came straight over, in the meantime May was going nuts round him and managed to kick him in the head while he was lying on the ground, it was awful, Janet called the vets, Chance tucked his legs under and was still laid down but looking up and neighing for May, blood pouring from his head - put May in the other paddock, sat with Chance, then he got up, really wobbly and un-coordinated, then his owner arrived, as the minutes ticked on he perked up and wanted to walk, so we headed back for the stable as the vet pulled up. She reckoned it was the heat and is coming back in the morning to sort his head out - Stayed with him till just gone 9pm, went round to mums for a brew then bobbed back at 10pm and he seemed quite perky, eating his net, had a good drink - and lots of polos!! Poor lil man, I feel so awful, May had only gone in with him today, the get on so well together.
