My husbands rope horse reared up to get away from my bratty pony and either landed on the corner of the cattle guard or a rock at 11pm last night. Had vet out 15 mins after it happened wrapped it and stabilized him until morning. Took him to a bigger vet clinic pulled x ray and no fractures THANK GOD. Had to cut the flap of hoof off to reduce chance of infection and will wrap and pack with sugardine for 2 weeks and then put a shoe on it in a week to stabilize it more. I ask for prayers for infection to stay away, the red stretch is his coffin bone and we have to hope and pray it does not get infeceted. He was overdue for a trim by a couple weeks but has been on pasture rest due to another injury.

Oh wow, that looks gross.... Glad you found out when it happened though! Don't want to think what would happen if you didn't find it till this am.... Hope it heals up good.

OMG! Thanks to the internet I have a new understanding for wounds that will heal. (even after the years of vet work I've done) I look forward to seeing his progress.
I sure hope the pony is still alive.....not sure my roping husband would be very understanding.....
