Re: [RC] Loose stallions revisited - Linda Parrish----- Original Message ----- From: <rides2far@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 3:00 AM Gee, ya'll are having so many problems, I think I'll relate the Alabama version. . These stories are making me darned glad I don't have a mare to worry about that creature getting with. Um, the Texas version is that the neighbor turns a horse into the pasture that has a connecting fence-line that my four geldings share. The new horse happens to be a stallion. Two of my boys ended up hurt in the resulting 'play'. One was just a hematoma on the chest/neck area - just sore for a few days. The other is my yearling. He got tangled in the wire. His right rear hock and upper cannon now have wire cuts and puncture wounds. After a vet visit where we took three x-rays of the leg, I am doing the hydro thing several times a day and spraying a silver bandage on it. It should heal just fine, but there wouldn't have been a problem if the neighbor had told us he needed to turn his horse out. He just didn't have time to haul water to his penned-up stallion. We are now building a fence with space between the two so that if he turns out again in the future maybe there won't be any vet visits. Oh, and since this guy never leaves the pasture, there is no Coggins on him....No vaccinations....>sigh< the joys and agonies of living in the country, Linda Parrish =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
