Tiddlypom how very generous of you.I think I would helped organise rehab care at a specialist yard or vet hospital rather than do it myself though I did wonder if the horse was unsuitable to travel.
I sent this reply .
'Sorry I am very wary as last time I was left as emergency phone number when someone with little experience looked after horses nearby they couldn't poultice a foot or even put a head collar on and the horse ended up at my yard for 4 days in one of our stables and we had to take care of it and poultice twice a day.
I wouldn't be happy calling a vet to someone else's horse given cost implications and wouldn't want to take on full time care of another horse with a very young puppy to accommodate and my own horses to do .It's ok if nothing happens but horses have a habit of throwing a curved ball especially when they are in the care of someone inexperienced.
