[QUOTE="Alan, post: 505968, member: 378"] I have always said if you own a horse you might as well stand there and feed it 1 dollar bills a fast as you can.... that's about what they cost to keep. My 2 yr old stallion just took about 30 stitches to the forehead. Here's his story; I stall all my horses and turn them out during the day during the winter and they are out 24/7 during the spring and fall (mild temps, no shade). While turning out I use a lead around the neck with some, halter others and use a yearling halter on one. As I have done 100 times before I toss the halter in front of the stall of the horse I'll take out after the one I'm leading out with a lead. Yea, this time I tossed the halter and it spooked my stud, he threw up his head and hit the top of the stall door, tore a 4 inch patch of skin from his forehead. It was hanging like a flap in the wind, about 30 stitches and a drain and 14 days of SMZ 960's he's on the mend, but boy was he mad, striking and kicking at any and everything. Lucky I know the Vet well and she was out right away.... drugs were good friend on that day.... for the horse. ;-) Any horse any day, Alan [/QUOTE]
