Ohh poo, not good news.... vet visit

[0ldmare]

The vet came to assess my mares lameness after the series of cartrophen injections for her ringbone.

She is a lot better than she was, but isnt totally sound - about 1/10th lame on hard ground, possibly slightly more on a sharp turn.

The vet said it would be fine to just walk her out, but not trotting on the roads.

Am really gutted, she looked sound doing acrobatics in the field the other day, but suppose that's cos the ground is soft and she was enjoying herself too much to stop

Sooo it looks like I will have 2 big fat field ornaments now.

But worst of all.... horse hunting is looming again Aaagh!!

I'm so rubbish at it (think I will leave it til the spring though)

Self pitying post, sorry

Sorry to hear your news, at least you can still go for a pootle in the meantime if you feel like it.

We can swop tragic horse hunting stories in the spring cos that's when I'll be looking too

Perhaps we could team up and go and visit a load of lame and unsuitable, misdescribed horses together!

Hmmm actually maybe not, Aberdeen and Kent not exactly close to each other... But I will watch out for an update on your exploits

what are you going to be looking for?

Aw hun, hugs to you.

Have a hot choccy to sip whilst you browse the for sales.

Lol thanks Mrs M, can't even do that, the electricity went off at 2pm and hasn't come back on again.

(The gin bottle is unaffected though)

Actually, that's a plan - think how many dodgy horses we could see between Abdn and Kent

So, you tackle the gin and I'll tackle the baileys and we can dream up a shopping list between us
