As always following an injury there is always a 'recovery period' which can be highly frustrating at times - especially when the weather is nice and you only have one horse (selfish as that sounds).
However, i am pleased to say that Spice's cut is looking heaps better. It is now 7 days since she got kicked in the hock but all is going well, the swelling has gone down and a nice scab is forming over the wound so it shouldn't be long until it is naturally protected from bacteria and therefore wont be prone to infection meaning she come off of her antibiotics.
I think it's always easy to 'worry or stress' over even the smallest ailments our horses have partly because they can't tell us how they are feeling and we always fear the worst but doing a little research on the internet always makes me realise that i have absolutely nothing to worry about...
I think it's amazing that this mare was saved - although i have to admit that if it was my horse i'd have found it incredibly hard to not consider the alternative.
