We had been offered a wonderful stay on 60 acres with a clean creek running through the property.
Nobody knows what happened... the owners and I watched Walter and their horse for several hours, all were fine; I walked the fence line; went to go rest under trees; got a call from owners that they were coming to get me, they had just driven by the far corner and Walter was hurt. They had found him frozen with three legs on one side of the fence and the other wrapped in barbed wire on the opposite side. He stood stock still while they cut him loose. I had heard an extremely loud boom nearby shortly before, we speculated that something scared him... but truth is, we'll never know.
Vet tech says 2-4 week lay up, dont move (transport) him for 5 days at least.
Back at Linda A.'s for now. She and her parents being wonderful.
Dont know how this will work out... just glad Walter didnt cut a tendon or artery.
Very grateful so many people rallied to help (including vet's tech Caroline, as vet was out
of town).
