He wasn’t quite as keen beans yesterday. Trotted up the hill sencibly. Nothing to put my finger on tho. Today brought him and groomed and he was randomly snapping at his front leg. Put saddle on and he got increasingly upset. Acting like there was a fly. I’m a terrible mum. When I looked he has a cut and some swelling. Just above his knee. Looks very much like a kick. There had been high jinx in the field where his buddy got free, yesterday morning and it is not a fresh cut. Sure it must have happened then.
Poor boy was telling me there was an issue. Once I found it he settled back to eating happy again. So he got lots of cuddles and oh you poor soldier. He now has a poultice on as I couldn’t quite see if there was a puncture wound under the scab and it was too nippy to get to it properly. I will go back up in a couple of hours to see.

I had put sudocrem on yesterday for the field. It looked great at night last night so I put more on overnight. Tack may come out tonight!
