Patsy and I arrived at camp Friday morning around 1:30 a.m. and we parked beside the soon to be bride & groom. We had just got to bed when Kalinda knocked on the door and said our horses had got in a kick fight. Apache got kicked inside his leg on his groin muscle. Needless to say I didn't think I would compete. I spent all day Friday icing, hosing, WALKING. Thanks to everyone that offered their assistance and support. Kalinda and Shane a special thank you for waking us up two mornings in a row (smile). But thanks to the vet's advice (he told me to take raw eggs and rub all over his wound and by george by the next morning the swelling & heat was gone). So we vetted out Saturday morning and we got to ride. It was a challenging ride, I didn't want to push him too hard but Apache has a heart of gold. The vet did think he was a little off and called him a grade 1 lame, but we got a clear to ride Sunday as well. Sunday I thought was tougher, I guess because we rode a lot faster and mostly uphill. It also heated up quickly, but had great PR's.
Anyone ever heard of using raw eggs?

I wish you could have got some pictures.
I have never heard of using raw eggs. I've heard of using uncooked bacon or bacon rinds on cuts/infection but not this. I will however, give it a try :)
