To be quite honest Barbara with the carry on we had in the vets this morning I didn’t even ask the vet about the swimming I might be back there tomorrow with how he’s looking right now He’s gone totally lame and not putting the leg down at all right now He’s been an absolute idiot today, starting at the vets so I’m hoping he’s just over done it. He had a bout of it the other night but was ok the next morning after proper rest overnight. I’ve just whacked some metacam down his neck so hope that and rest over night helps

I guessed you couldn’t do ride and lead and after your list against it above I can see why! You don’t have bad boys, just spirited All character!

Oh no! I hope the Metacam helps!

Oh no Kim! Will be keeping fingers crossed until we get an (hopefully positive) update from you tomorrow. It sounds like the ACP tablet might have been a better option. Really hoping this is not a serious setback.

Are ACP tablets acepromazine?

Thanks. Hoping it makes him more comfortable so he will rest properly He’s hopping along holding it up but IS hopping. When he originally broke it he couldn’t even hop and hold it so I’m thinking it’s just a case of over doing it. He’s just hopped out for a wee and I didn’t have to carry him so that has to be a plus.

I’m going to need sedation at this rate!

Yes I could do with a bottle or two on hand to use before I ride out!

@Yorkshire Coop

I think calling them spirited is being very generous (but then that is your nature Kim).... ill mannered and undisciplined is probably more correct and the only person I can blame for that is ME! Of course, when they are at home in the yard, butter wouldn't melt in their mouths and everyone adores them (me included) and won't believe that they can be so naughty when they are out....

I like to find the good in everyone and everything At least they are not naughty in the yard at home! I bet if you got a go pro camera for hacking out your vids would be fab!
