this morning i got a phone call saying my mac was lame, i was heading up the yard anyway and when i got there i was met by a 4 inch nail sticking out of his back hoof,
luckily vet and farrier were booked for today, farrier removed the nail and spoke to my vet over the phone, vet was not too worried but said he would look when he was out, the nail went through his bar towards the hoof wall and went in a little over an inch.
so i now have a stroppy stable hating 16.3hh on box rest for 7 days and its a back foot so he is practising his aims at my head
vet says i am very lucky to have had 2 nails in 2 months and not have more of a serious injury.
