Got socked in the face today by horse ripping his hay out of his net, caught me in the face and knocked me across the stable. Nose very painful and bleeding ! Moral of this story, wear a hat in the stable ?
Think I bay have broken by dose

Moral of the story..... avoid hungry horse with haynet!
Hope you feel better soon

Hat wouldn't have saved you. but I'm so sorry. It hurts! I know. Nasty pony took out my nose and cheekbone by rearing and striking out. They can't actually do much for a broken nose, but it might be worth just getting it checked out, to make sure you haven't damaged a cheekbone - as facial neuralgia can follow. Get well soon.

Yet more proof that haynets are dangerous.........!
Thanks all, I currently am brewing a black eye but think nose may actually be in one piece !
This is the second time hes clouted me trying to get his hay out of the net. Not to mention the times hes stood on my foot. Is he trying to kill me ?

Owch !!
Throw a few handfulls of hay on the floor in the corner to distract him and give you time to put the haynet up.

Ouch, hope you are feeling better.
I feed all mine on the floor now, ended up with too many bumps and bruises tyiing up haynets with horses trying to eat out of them at the same time

Moral of the story ,buy my saint of a horse who would die rather than hurt me . Bob the (not a ) cob you realy are a bit odd. In fairness I no longer carry a whip on BTNAC because he simply doesnt understand the concept .He thinks its some sort of fishing pole!!. To watch him free school is an exhebition in the futility of equestrianism.

Well, I'm not a doctor, but it does 'sound' as if your dose is broken
But if you had been wearing a hat to protect your nose you might have broken an arm or leg if you had tripped over whilst being visually impaired.
Hope you feel better soon, OH has also been smacked in the face by my girl whilst eating from a haynet - no bruises though.

Sorry to hear about your nose, I'm still sporting a bruised foot from
being stood on.
We have since got tough and improved stable manners, making them stand back from haynets/feed until we want them to have it.
Keeping them in a headcollar/leadrope, ask them to back up, initially it took two people, one to hang the net, one to keep the horse back.
A month later ours will back up when asked and don't snatch at nets, they know they won't get it until their headcollars come off.
Much safer.
