Poor viv had a fall

Viv had a fall on the yard, she slipped trying to get away from another horse and the way she slipped meant she went down, her back legs under her! She was very stiff! Thankfully nothing broken!

She has had a few days rest in her field and has had a massage off the massage lady who comes out to her routinely. She was so kind to fit Viv in as an emergency and I am so thankful as she has made a huge difference to her! Shes Amazing.I have booked her again as part of vivs recuperation. She has magic hands and is so honest and professional. If you live in the North East England area her name is Sarah Bramwell and she runs

  Horse harmony equine therapy.

 Viv was lame and couldnt trot. Its been a few days days since her massage and yesterday she trotted up for the first time and although not entirely sound she is at least able to go forwards without dragging her toes and looking in pain. Im hopeful over the next few days we see even more improvements in her. The massage has done her wonders!! Thankyou Sarah.

I have started her on turmeric to go with her linseed. She likes the linseed shes had that all winter BUT the turmeric she is not so keen on and she picks at her dinner so i think i might need to make turmeric treats with apple or something to get it into her and because i feel guilty i have spoiled her menu hahaha!!

The last few days we have just took viv on short walks as instructed to keep her active. We will see how she is at the weekend and if she seems sound we can start to slowly bring her back into work. Until then she is ABSOLUTELY LAPPING UP THE ATTENTION!!!
