The jaw was pure stupidity on my part.

I was turning my App gelding out. Every day for the duration of his existence, he would do the same thing every time. I'd walk him into the pasture, take off his halter and lead, he'd take a few steps and then buck and take off. He did this every single time I would turn him out. I came to expect it.

That particular day, I took his halter and lead off and accidentally dropped them. Like a dummy I bent down to grab them and WHAM. For the first time in his life he bucked and THEN took off. Got me right in the side of the face. I couldn't hear anything for a good 15 minutes. My lord I saw stars. Got lucky though. Any higher and it would've been lights out for good.

Don't ever let yourself get comfortable around large animals. Even if you think you know them. Even if you've done the same thing 1,000 times. ALWAYS expect the unexpected.

I have my own suture kits at home now. :oops:
Wow. I had a full grown mule (Lucy) walk herself right into a 30’ trailer where my brother and I “were” happily drinking homemade elder berry wine. Poor girl slipped on the linoleum floor, spooked herself, and proceeded to tear the hell out of that trailer. My brother had a rack full of about 12 carboys of wine and beer and somehow not one got broken!
Always expect the unexpected.
 
I moved the food and water up close for “Food” my lame duck and we released the buttons! So far so good
Lame like how? Spradle leg? I recall you mentioning it but I don’t recall exactly. I have one that’s spradle leg. Feed store didn’t have my feed, I supplemented they chick starter. Still got it.
