Pony gone through leccy fence.....

[scotsmare]

.....and is swollen above hock to stifle

Obviously v. scared by the thunderstorms (probably not helped by two babies who given the state of them were also v. scared) and has jumped (or attempted to) the electric fence and has obviously got caught in it. She has even managed to loosen an 8ft high wooden corner strainer post.

Have brought them all in as thunderstorms still in area and she's had a little feed with arnica and a sachet of danilon but anything else I could give her?

Is she better out or in tonight? Storms are due to pass in the next couple of hours and I'm thinking out walking on it is probably better than standing in getting stiff?

Horses!!!!

i'd turn her out tonight.. the movement will help shift any swelling.. also her cirrculation will flow better aiding quicker recovery due to constant blood flow to area.. arnica and possibly some comfery to act as painkiller? only problem would be the masking of any lameness ...

best to be moving give some bute for the swelling and arnica for the brusing cold hosing will help as well!
