"Your horse has got a cut," she said.
"Ok," I said calmly, picturing the gashing wound one of the mares had got the other week when I happened to pop by.
"It is only small," she continued.

"And it is above the fetlock so not really in a difficult place, but the leg has filled quite a lot so I think we need to do something about it."
Right, not the end of the world then. But enough to have me stocking up on various first aid items, hibi scrub, animalintex and vet wrap and going out there today to see the patient myself.
As expected he was being looked after excellently and was sun bathing with his pals in the lovely spring weather. Getting his first ever bandage on had been a little bit of a drama, but I doubt he'll be particularly traumatized....
Nice blue bandage matching the headcollar, that's my boy!
