What To Do!

My horse went over on his hoof in the school this afternoon when sharer was riding him. She has cold hosed him and the plan was to leave him in until I got there tonight to have a look at him. (He is lame on it).

Anyway, he has had other ideas and has been flinging himself about his stable so have told her to put him in the field. (He can be a bit strssy when no-one else is in). I know he won't go mad in the field. Would this be the right thing to do? I am guessing/hoping he has just bruised himself and with rest will be ok. I will get the vet when I get there tonight if I think he needs to see one.

If he's going mad in stable but will graze quietly out then he's better off out tbh.

cold hose walk in hand and give him some bute if no better in 48hrs call the vet!

Thanks guys. Went up straight from work and he was weight bearing and eating grass and apparently much improved from earlier. (Sharer met me up there). Have given him a bute and will check him again in the morning, but my guess is that he has just bruised himself. Sharer had already cold hosed.
