The tale of a tail.....

[tangoharvey]

Ok, so heres what must have been going through my mares head yesterday, if she could speak;-

Oh look, the tractors coming with the hay, best I get over there, as despite being a TBX, I have the appetite of a shire! Oh damn, theres a fence in my way, I could easily walk round it but it looks much more direct if I go through it, its only barbed wire, and electric fencing, it will be fine in my new rug, I wont feel a thing. Oooh, thats the front legs over, see told you I was good, ah, back legs, come on, oh god tail....tail come one, oh dear, oh no the others are on the hay oh god oh god, oh here comes a human, and another, cant they just bring the hay over here, damn they are empty handed, oh, legs, over fence, right, I'm off, oh tail, cant move, still cant move, (10 min later)....oh tail, they are cutting you off, yay I'm free, oh that feels funny with hardly any tail, the humans say at least my legs werent cut and I look like a polo pony now, hmmn, least I got to the hay tho!

any ideas how long it will take to grow back, its level with her hocks now ;-(

Horses!!!! LOL

It shouldn't take that long if it's to her hocks. Probably Spring I'd think.

I suppose at least she didn't stand on her own tail and rip a chunk out of it. That was a lesson to keep tails trimmed to a sensible length.

Glad she was otherwise undamaged.
