So the good news is Spices cut seems to be a lot better :) - it got a little muddy with her being kept in the field overnight but i gave it a good clean and a second dose of antibiotics and the swelling definitely seems to have gone down which is a good sign.
Tonight it looked like it might rain pretty hard so all the horses were brought in and Spice was given a deep bed of straw (as i haven't yet had any time to buy any rubber matting) to see if that makes any difference to her legs swelling up so i guess i will see what the outcome of that is tomorrow morning (although at the minute i'm more concerned about the swelling on her hock.)
Why is it that some horses are so prone to injury whereas others seem as hard as nails? I think if i counted the amount of times Spice has had a cut/graze, bruise, abscess or any other injury causing lameness i'd be able to say that on average she had something once a month!
However, even though i can't ride Spice at the mo i still managed to go on a lovely hack on one of my friends horses today which was real nice so all is not bad. :)
