49. Update on Spices Hoof Abscess...

Today was so messy and muddy. I arrived at the fields this morning to find our horses had escaped for a third time :( so spent the first hour just tidying up after them and mending the electric fence. After being rained on for about one hour my friend turned up to help me apply a new poultice to spices hoof but that didn't go so well as i think spice was certain that we were trying to kill her by putting her in the stable in order to do it out of the mud.

The good news is the puss and muck from her abscess is draining nicely but spice is still very sore and is limping around. :( I hope it starts to feel less painful for her soon. It's not nice having a disabled horse.

I really hope the weather starts getting better soon too. All this mild weather and rain makes for a bit of a mud bath in the fields and wheelbarrows and mud are two things that should never be put together.

On top of this i am feeling as though i am coming down with the flu but apart from that everything else is great. ahhhh
