Just back from the yard.
I couldn't find J anywhere at all. Heart in my mouth he wasn't anywhere to be seen near his field. I panicked thinking he had run onto the railway line near the yard. I roped OH into looking for him and one of his fieldmates (4 usually in field in total)
After searching every field, I finally found him and the missing fieldmate. Total relief, but I was wondering why he was in there in the first place! I checked him over and realised his leg has been torn to shreds. A quick look around and I see he's gone through all the fencing, and it looks like the wires have wrapped round his leg. A lot of skin is gone, and it looks like it will scar. No need for a vet, as thankfully it isn't deep wounds. So I clean him up and make sure he's alright, then go in search of answers!
Turns out that a girl I share a field with decided that I don't poo pick enough. (did 9 barrowloads this week, and yard rules say I have to do 3 barrowloads a week by my contract) So she decided to move J herself and plonk him in a field where he would be away from him mates. (totally far away, he couldn't even see them) J got very distressed and put himself through 2 fences trying to get back to his fieldmates.
The fieldmate that J was moved in with, his owner is the culprit. Constantly leaving jobs for other people and never poo picks. So these other two owners ganged up together, threw me and this other girl out and now my horse is injured, will scar and bang goes my plans of showing next year.
