I hope you find a good place, Beaker. Kennels usually aren't too much.

He looks a lot like my border collie. I would take him cler down here in Texas if I could.

Well, my accident-prone Thoroughbred did it again. After two weeks in the corral (the sick ward) to get over a swollen lymph gland, I turned her out to pasture and went down the next day and she had a great gaping wound on her inner thigh at the hock joint. She rushed down to the pasture and managed to locate some loose wire somewhere and did herself a good one.

Now she's back in the sick ward again for ANOTHER two weeks.

I've walked the pasture as much as I can in this heat to locate any loose barbed wire but can't find any.

Good golly miss molly.

I'm hoping that I can find someplace. I've put together a list of kennels in the area close to me so that I can visit him during his "vacation", if he chooses to think of it this way, which he won't.
That's terrible to hear about your TB. I hope that she heals ok. The TB's in my experience have been as accident prone as can be. Did you see it happen? I wouldn't count on finding that wire, but I bet that she knows right where it is! Just like a nail, or a rock, or anything that could conceivably caused bodily injury...

I had a filly that stuck a hole in her hind leg (inside) and the only conclusion I could come to was that she did it with a sharp stick from a broken tumbleweed that hit just right. No wire or metal in the pasture at all. I think some horses can injure themselves in a padded stall. Hope she heals up okay.

A horse can hurt itself in a rubber room.
