from the horse's mouth

general meanderings on horses, life (well thats the same as horses really), work (so I can afford to do the horses thing)

Progress.... ?

So here is the latest view of Fi's leg (8 days on from the last one)



The wounds are slowly getting smaller, and the new skin bigger - but it's hard to tell without the previous photos as reference. When I look at it, it looks more like something that is going to stay together (fingers crossed !). But she's not getting the chance to roll....... not yet !

It's going to be a while before we can tell how it will affect her movement. While she seems to have escaped serious damage to the tendon (which would have resulted in her dragging that toe), the joint is still fairly "fat" compared to the other side, and the scar tissue may also restrict her.

I guess only time will tell.

And Rosie got x-rayed today ahead of the next farrier visit - so we'll see what story they tell.
