When to call the vet

[bayxpony]

Today my pony got herself under the breast bar of our trailer. Completely my fault as i had tied her to some baler twine instead of attaching her to the actual trailer clip thingy. She unloaded fine and we got her out - doesn’t seem lame at all. But she has scapes on her back and forehead. Have put arnica gel on them and will defo not ride until they are healed, but is it worth getting the vet out? Nothing other than the scrapes seems off.

How deep are the scrapes? If they're superficial I wouldn't
I would watch out for any signs of infection as they heal, and try to keep the flies off

yeah if superficial scrapes I would just keep an eye on them. And would also keep an eye on the pony in case she has tweaked herself in the process.
