Poor Kira

One of the horses visiting us (there are two) has hurt her leg. The vet came to take an x-ray, as her owner was at work we helped out. Apparently the piece of kit cost somewhere in the region of 70,000EUR so the vet got worried when Tigi - the other visiting horse - escaped and came cantering towards the equipment, we had to bundle it all back in the van pdq until things settled down.
Once we managed to get some x-rays taken (Doug holding the horse, I was holding the sensor and the vet the camera) she couldn't see any breaks or fractures, but said that sometimes they don't show up immediately. So poor Kira is confined (with Tigi for company) in a makeshift stall in the barn. They will be there for around 10 days at least.

They have been there a few days now and Kira is looking much better and putting weight on the leg. The swelling is going down too. So it looks like she will be ok!
Benefit also that the stalls in the barn have been cleaned out so if we need somewhere inside for our horses we have something until we get round to building stables.
