Dont know if some of you remember, i decided to get my old horse PTS as he has various ailments, and is not recovering from a knee op very well. On friday was meant to be having discussion with vet at the surgery, and i went down the yard before work to find his good knee swollen and hot, couldnt believe it as this is his good front leg, and i discovered a 2 inch laceration at the back (the vet thinks it could be that he has caught himself with his back leg when rising).
Had the vet out and hes on bute and antibiotics, we made a date for PTS (nxt week), and the plan was to spoil him rotten as he could still go out and was no lamer than usual.
Then my new ridden horse has came down with a bad back (vet checked him and it seems to be my NEW 3 MONTH OLD saddle that is bridging and causing him wither pain and pain at the back of teh saddle (was only check 2 WEEKS AGO!!). SO physio out on Thursday - at least 2-3 weeks off riding.
Anyway, if thats not bad enough...... the fields and access road to yard has flooded and thre is no turnout (unless they want to swim in 3 ft of water - they both need turnout with their problems, and im feeling guilty because my old horses last week is going to probs be in a stable
.
On top of this, my car is stranded at the yard, as it is only accessible by 4x4, and my work has had to get me a lease car, so i am struggling to even get to the yard (they are on part livery luckily).
What else can go wrong.... i cant cope anymore x Oh and i am on a course in london tomorrow which means 6 hours down today from teh north east and 6 hours back tomorrow after my course tomorrow.
