Unless, of course he decides to scar white on that black leg. <BR/><BR/>Don't they always find just the right thing to do maximum harm to themselves? I've always believed that a horse could rip himself to shreds in a padded stall. <BR/><BR/>I've seen them do terrible harm to themselves on nothing, and then go through the most horrific conditions and come out spotless. Must be in the genes. <BR/><BR/>Good luck in Salem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-30013874370421300422008-06-14T15:40:00.000-07:002008-06-14T15:40:00.000-07:00Never mind, it must have been yesterday.

It is, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Friday the 13th has never been a problem to me....but yesterday changed all that. It was a very weird and strange day. I swear there was something in the air directed at me (and all the crazy drivers you encountered).<BR/><BR/>I'll be back tomorrow to see how you and Andy are doing.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045740834149432902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-91024744601154184022008-06-14T09:38:00.000-07:002008-06-14T09:38:00.000-07:00Yikes!

I hope the little guy is doing okay.<BR/><BR/>Good luck at the horse show!<BR/><BR/>I agree Friday the 13th traffic is awful. I had to run Hubby around yesterday to get parts for his truck and I wanted to just park and walk the 40 miles to the place. It was a mess and I swear people left thier brains at home.<BR/><BR/>Patiently waiting for the next installment...Lady Of Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528836839856266688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-30676616084926232092008-06-14T09:26:00.000-07:002008-06-14T09:26:00.000-07:00Yikes, I cannot BELIEVE how often these things hap...Yikes, I cannot BELIEVE how often these things happen to you!

Yes, the more you have the more things to deal with. I'm glad he is all right and that Dave and Lindsey were there in time to do what needed to be done. You're lucky you have more then one vet to call. We have our one and he does have a part time one that does some call but that's it. Makes it hard sometimes, wish there were more around here.Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-19549877448923771452008-06-14T08:20:00.000-07:002008-06-14T08:20:00.000-07:00gecko, you're so right it does never end with hors...gecko, you're so right it does never end with horses and the more of them you have, the more wrecks you get to deal with. lol I think histerical pretty much sums up how Dave felt. I had time to process before I actually saw the wound, so that helped.<BR/><BR/>lori, I am leaving town for Salem in ten minutes. This is the last you're hear of me in comments until next week. However, I have scheduled blog posts that will be posted each day by dear blogger.<BR/><BR/>molly, only two for now. Updates will have to wait until after the show. But as of this morning, sweet Andy is looking good. He hates taking his meds though so poor Dave is going to get a trial by fire. Not to mention what changing those dressings is going to be like. Poor Dave!<BR/><BR/>grey horse, I guess it depends on how you look at it for luck. If he had done this when no one was in the barn, he probably would have bled out. We would have found him dead. So from that perspective his luck is good. If it had to happen this was the best time in some ways. Dave was able to save his life.<BR/><BR/>fvclassic, ya, I'm with you. Owning horses can be a double edged sword. If I didn't love them there would be no point, but love can carry a long long way.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-26738796245165137672008-06-14T07:58:00.000-07:002008-06-14T07:58:00.000-07:00Horses.. you gotta love em.... or they'll break yo...Horses.. you gotta love em.... or they'll break your heart<BR/><BR/>Phil 4:13 <BR/>gp in montanaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-31178458963965085852008-06-14T06:19:00.000-07:002008-06-14T06:19:00.000-07:00Poor Andy, they sure do get themselves into situat...Poor Andy, they sure do get themselves into situations don't they.

I am missing something here, doesnt take much to confuse me.<BR/><BR/>I feel your pain on this one as this is pretty much the same way that Blue cut his leg when he got caught in the roundpen but we didnt have the blood to deal with. It was a nightmare to bandage because I didnt understand the instructions about the pressure given by the vet for the first two or three weeks and we ended up with proud flesh. I will try to post a brief account of it on my Lori's Critters Blog sometime today. Once I had the pressure bandage down pat it healed quickly but he didnt chew it either which helped, he was also about 18 months old when it happened.<BR/><BR/>I am waiting anxiously for the next instalment.

I'll never forgot how scared I was when my gelding cut his leg and hit an artery, actually scared is an understatement, I was histerical. But just like you said, it's truely amazing how much blood they can loose without it having an affect on them!!!<BR/><BR/>As for Firday the 13th...I've never been supersticious either, about the worst thing to happen to me on a Fri 13th was I was on a bus and the driver cut the corner, clipped a Give Way sign which smashed the window directly above me. Not good either though!Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869977105238208893noreply@blogger.com
