As posted earlier - had a bit of a whoopsie with TB and ISH yesterday which resulted in them galloping flat out through a couple of fields of barley without their riders (me and OH). ISH came back absolutely fine. TB has scrapes to the underside of his fetlock in front and a small slice on the inside of his near hind.
His fetlock has swollen up as has his pastern on his off fore. He is sound at walk - haven't been able to trot him up because noone been around. He seems a bit sore on it and is pointing foot very slightly when cold hosing it. Heat seems to be on inside of fetlock.
Could he have twisted it galloping flat out over rough ground or even (god forbid) put his foot in a hole?
I've given him bute and cold hosed. Cuts all cleaned up. I've had to turn him back out in his field because he goes nuts in his stable at this time of the year and I worry he'd do more damage rolling constantly (his anxiety thing).
