A nice sight!

Six months ago, Molly helpfully shoved her leg through a gap in the barn that simply wasn't there, causing lots of damage round her fetlock and coronet band. This was followed by the loss of any condition she had and it would be fair to say she did not look sparkling. However she always wanted to eat and she was a dream to bandage and inject so we decided to treat her over the winter and see how she stood up to summer turnout. Well apart from one major panic when her foot cracked horrifically (photos quickly emailed to long suffering farrier!) she is doing very well and happily led the charge when the dry mares moved field today. 99% sound and scanned in foal for April 2011 I'm starting to think she got away with it (touch wood!!!)

I was impressed at how she looks I have followed her progress with interest, you know me I'd have taken her indoors and wrapped her up if need be!
