I was so upset and terrified for you and Pantz and dear, sweet, Wa mare. Oh, how awful! But I am so glad that it sounds like you all will be ok. I hate to hear about any pain to her or you. Brian had to hear the whole story because of my reactions while reading. Hugs and prayers and healing thoughts. Please get better and love up the Wa mare. She is a sweet girl and needs all the loving to get better.

But maybe you should find a way to secure it to her mane in the event her tack comes off. I've seen saddles slide upside down and bridles pull off panicked horses. And that was in an arena -- not on the trail with brush and sharp branches to get tangled in.<br /><br />Kudos to you for reporting the farrier! We all need to report anyone who fails to provide a service as promised. More so when a person or animal may be harmed by their ignorance or negligence.<br /><br />We do need to maintain a healthy respect for our chosen sport, don't we?Oregon Equestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074291602447053774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-74399387111776434542010-09-08T16:49:58.088-07:002010-09-08T16:49:58.088-07:00Kacy, hearing this story again doesn't make it...Kacy, hearing this story again doesn't make it any easier to hear.

AAAAHHHHRRRGGGHHH!<br /><br />I hope you will all heal very quickly. With no scars on bodies and souls ;-)<br />I think I can relate to how you must have been feeling, because when I just had Naloma she had a terrible accident which left a big gaping wound in her belly. I could put my fist in it (I didn't, but it was that big). I thought she was bleeding to death right then and there. The vet stitched her up and left a drain in it and for week I had to inject iodine in the wound twice a day and massage it gently to prevent the flesh from sticking together and form 'wild flesh'. Horrible! We have a wonderful vet who visited almost every night (free of charge) to see how things were going. He told me later that he'd been afraid she'd die. Fortunately she's still around as you know. With a huge scar exactly where the girth is. She never protested when I pushed the syringe with iodine right into the wound (I nearly fainted the first time I had to do that). Actually, this whole experience made me love her even more. Although we both could have done without the horror at the time :-)<br /><br />Take care. A huge cuddle for all of you ;-) And I mean HUGE!Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288856854422999687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-5527044355894434942010-09-08T13:28:13.656-07:002010-09-08T13:28:13.656-07:00I'd have been so traumatized by the whole thin...I'd have been so traumatized by the whole thing. How are you doing? First you have the fear that you might be hurt, then you have the fear that you may have lost your horses, then you have the fear that they may be hurt, then when they are hurt, you have the fear that infection may set in... It's just one worry after another.

(Ask me how I know. *weak laugh*)<br /><br />A healthy fear and respect is a good lesson to take from this, for sure. And like you said, it could have been oh so much worse. But I'm so relieved it wasn't.<br /><br />Please take good care for yourself, just as I know you are doing for your beautiful Wa mare, too.<br /><br />~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-2719448752260948752010-09-08T10:46:25.136-07:002010-09-08T10:46:25.136-07:00ps: if you get another farrier make sure you tell ...ps: if you get another farrier make sure you tell them to not leave a little extra shoe for hoof expansion.

I have another farrier this time as like I explained last time I was so pissed at my old farrier. Luckily for me I don't have to call him and explain I don't need him because he got hurt trimming another horse (I was there it was a bad injury)Anyway the other farrier and president of the ontario farriers association told me "You NEED clips" especially on the carriage horses. He uses his own nails because he finds the ones that come with it are too short. Still uses the setter thing though.<br />What a scary situation! Poor Wa and pantz. I would be beside myself if my horse got away from me when I was someplace they didn't know home. Every time I have fallen off I have luckily been someplace the horse knew or in an arena.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523660446608394720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-48473189774178377422010-09-08T10:20:34.891-07:002010-09-08T10:20:34.891-07:00OMG what a terrifying horrible accident!
