Injury :(

Went to catch Cobs last night to get him all glammed up for the clinic and noticed he had blood on his paddock boots (yes he has them on...High Maintenance & all that LOL!). Anyway had a look and it appears that he no longer thought he needed the back of his fetlock & tried to take it off...nice one.

So got the vet up & he said that Cobs was very lucky it wasn't worse & didn't get his tendon so I guess the paddock boots come in handy after all!

Cobs is now out for at least five days and then have to start to slowly bring him back in. Being in such a dumb place it will probably take a while to heal properly. He is dead lame this morning on it and has an elephant ankle.

So lots of sping grass & no riding...interesting combination LOL!
This is what it looked like when I found him:
First day after washing it etc. He has got a magnetic boot on this leg now to try & help him out.
