all too much.
*sigh*
seems it's just a bad start for the SAFCOL ladies and gents.
Last night, C was out for a ride on MoonFever. She just trotted a little bit (he is in last week of AHS injections) and upon asking for a canter, he fell over. On top of her.
He wouldn't get up, couldn't get up.
He just lay there. Luckily W was with C and he pulled MoonFever off her.
Eventually they got him standing, and led him home. He fell down 3 more times on the way.
Not colicky moments of wanting to roll, but just falling over. Losing all use of his hind quarters.
The vet came in, but didn't have any idea what it could be.
Then this morning, Stardust would not get out of her stable, and it took a lot of coaxing. She then went into her paddock and proceeded to run straight into the wall and fall over. Like MoonFever.
Yesterday on my ride on Trafalgar, I thought he was acting a little odd. I thought perhaps it was the back brushing boots i had put on him, which he was not used to (his owner doesn't ride with any boots on, but I prefer to be safe with him) and this was causing him to stumble under with his hind legs.
Apparently, T was riding Beautiful Lady and she did the same thing, and T thought it was just the ligament injury she had that was causing the wobbles.
And Pooh would not get out of his stable this morning either. He had to be coaxed out with lots of carrots, by J and her mum. He is also wobbly and unhappy.
So basically, the whole darn SAFCOL yard has something nasty. The vet came back this morning to collect oathay samples, as he has a strong feeling that this is the problem.
It's scary, watching the poor horses wander around like they don't know where they are or how to walk properly. Falling down. :(
I hope it _is_ the oathay, so we at least know how to stop this.
worried.
