I thought it was about time I gave an update on Logic's amazing recovery today.

A quick recap for anyone that missed our story....

One Saturday lunchtime at the beginning of October I had a call from our livery yard manager to say that Logic had had an accident, the vet was there and they needed me to get to the yard immediately. In a state of panic I rushed to the yard, assuming that whatever had happened, they needed me there to give consent for her to be put to sleep.

When we got there there were about 4 fire engines, paramedics, RSPCA, vet, various farmers there. The road had been closed and my poor Logic was trapped upside down in a very narrow beck that runs alongside her field.

She had to be anesthatised which was very difficult and it took a few hours to get her out of the ditch. All very traumatic.

Fortunatly, because the ditch was so narrow she only had superficial wounds to legs and body, but she had injured her face quite badly.

Here she is when she had just come around from the anasthetic and the vet had cleaned her up

As the weeks went by, the wound on her head got bigger and bigger and I was terribly concerned that she would never get better.

But I am pleased to say that eventually the wounds did get smaller!! Just after Christmas I removed the scab on her face, expecting to see her skull as usual and WOW !! Just nice pink flesh!!

Thanks to everyone for their support.

That's a fantastic recovery :) I'm so pleased for you, it looked AWFUL at the time. Will the hair grow back on that bit or will she always have a little bald patch?

Rarah, everytime I read your story it brings tears to my eyes :o

I know I have said it before but you must take some of the credit for her excellent healing yourself for your TLC and nursing her through such a traumatic experience. It is a testimony to the love and trust that you have in each other than she has recovered so well mentally as well as physically.

Congrats, matey :)

What an amazing result!

Time is a great healer, but without your care and attention this would not have been achieved. Give yourself a pat on the back girl for providing that care, and I am sure I dont really need to send your adorable and brave pony a cuddle since he appears to get plenty of that, but I am sending one anyway ((hugs)).

What a lovely start to the New Year for you both! :)
