Phillip the vet came, took the bandage off, all looking good. blue sprayed for certainty. wasn't over keen on the idea of putting field chaps on, BUT on balance saw my point of protecting from further damage bearing in mind Monf had ony been in the field a day short of a week when this happened, and we don't want more damage!
also thought i probably wouldn't need the physio for him - no muscles twinging or whatever, and he's sound as pound and straight when trotted up, so good.
didn't ask when i could start riding again (forgot, LOL) but i would think at least another week
thinking i'll probably have him in overnight anyway from now on.....see what the boy himself thinks!
This is good news! At first it seemed that it was much worse. A week rest sounds good then light riding. He will let you know how he feels.
ReplyDeleteNothing quite so nice as a positive result from the vet. I think you are wise taking it a bit easy for now, and modifying the turnout might help too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I'm glad Monfils is OK.
