hi guys - thank you so much to everyone whos posted (and PM'd me) much appreciated
Well i went back and unbandaged his backlegs (as i bandaged them before i left at stupid O'Clock this morning) and it had gone down loads already! So i slap on his bridle and lunge line and drag him out of the stable in the rain (he wasnt too impressed). Grabbed YO to come and assess him and i walked and trotted him on the lunge. hes sound as a pound in walk. started off slightly lame in trot but got better and it was certainly nothing major. So hes now out in one of YOs paddocks (a priviledge in itself!) with magnetic back boots on. he hooned around like an idiot to start with so i just walked off and left him! hopefully he wont do himself anymore harm and he should settle down.
So fingers crossed its not any worse when i bring him in later now
Fingers crossed it is nothing serious. 9 times out of 10 it is something really minor. Have a thorough exam in daylight and you may find the cause......
Sorry, only just got on here today so couldn't send the vibes earlier! I'm sending loads now though so that he's ok when you get down there later!
Fingers crossed for you hun xxx
hi hun, thankies for that - im going back down around 3ish, i just hope he hasnt wrecked YOs paddock more than anything!! hes got a thing about digging holes and rolling in them at the moment - dirty horse!!
