Poorly leg means grumpy horse!

Hi everyone

Laura and Thomas here: newlaura.jpg

Oh dear, Joker (commonly known as Grumpy) - one of the horses at the yard is mega sad. He cut his left leg in the trailer last weekend while trying to take his travel boots off and is now on box rest for the next few weeks while the cut heels. It's on his pastern so it’s not healing very quickly and we can't risk turning him out in the mud and it getting infected.

Thomas is being a big meany to him as well. He keeps laughing at him when he goes out to the field past Grumpy’s stable, as if to say ‘ha ha you have to stay in’. Poor Grumpy I think I will have to take him some carrots to cheer him up a bit.
