And now we wait for the vet to email with instructions.

Capria and Pandora got into it Big Time (major mare fight--kicking blue hell out of each other) just as I was getting ready to feed dinner. Capria lost. Leg laid open on the outside hind cannon, bleeding like crazy. I got it cleaned and wrapped. It's not a location that can be stitched, so this is going to be fun.

Pandora is in deep doo-doo tonight. She cow-kicked me while having her back foot cleaned before a ride, caught me sideways and did a number on the muscles of shoulder and neck. I nailed her for it. Probably her fight with Capria was payback. I managed to ride her, too, and while the walk was not pleasant because of the way the muscles are torn (riding position is exactly wrong for that), the trot was very nice indeed.

Ibuprofen is working. Heating pad next. Bandage check on Capria after that, plus whatever the vet wants done.

Some days it isn't worth getting out of bed.

ETA Vet emailed promptly--she's fine for the night and he'll take a look at her tomorrow.

Ah, Capria. She can't get through a winter without a vet bill. She just can't bring herself to do it.
