We have 5 horses here & just don't have much of anything happen. Check all places they are.

8/22/2007 11:07:23 PM

Safe pastures living area is the key.

8/22/2007 10:47:59 PM

Humans have to always be aware of a horses surroundings.

8/22/2007 10:35:07 PM

Minis don't seem as prone to injuries, but they'll react the same tangled in a fence!

8/22/2007 9:47:35 PM

Most injuries occur when they are frustrated because I'm off schedule feeding and they are hungry.

8/22/2007 8:15:29 PM

Right now dealing with stifle injury. Ist time with this injury and it is very frustrating.

8/22/2007 6:48:38 PM

8/22/2007 6:14:04 PM

longears usually know better!

8/22/2007 5:59:49 PM

my 25 yr old geldine has only been injured once :)

8/22/2007 3:39:49 PM

I have a mule and a horse. The mule is by far less accident prone than the horse.

8/22/2007 3:32:27 PM

My horses live in a herd environment so there is occasional battle damage.

8/22/2007 3:27:46 PM

mostly to the pastern area, wire fencing is often the cause

8/22/2007 2:53:28 PM

Last couple serious injuries have been caused by shape edges or screws in fencing. Proud flesh!

8/22/2007 2:50:57 PM

cuts,scrapes, bits from other horses

8/22/2007 2:38:34 PM

My horses are kept out 24/7, they learn how to handle themselves.

8/22/2007 1:59:16 PM

Usually inflicted by the pony on the horse - but fortunately never serious

8/22/2007 1:08:33 PM

My horse is very careful. Almost all her injuries have been human caused. (i.e. bad farrier work)

8/22/2007 1:06:44 PM

my horse is a pleasure and an investment, I use caution at all times

8/22/2007 12:50:17 PM

8/22/2007 12:26:11 PM

Several of my off track Thoroughbreds have had problems with being horses but are getting better

8/22/2007 11:56:17 AM

One horse hardly ever gets hurt, the other has had a number of stichs and a broken nose

8/22/2007 11:49:48 AM

I have two mares that can't seem to get along so they are constantly kicking or biting each other

8/22/2007 11:17:19 AM

Every wound should be thoroughly cleaned and treated with blue lotion, peroxide, neosporin, etc.

8/22/2007 10:45:04 AM

We horse-proof our barns, pastures, fences. Occasional kick from pasture mate

8/22/2007 10:38:50 AM

I have 4 horses that pasture daily, so getting scratches & bites from playing & rubbing is the norm

8/22/2007 10:25:10 AM

he and his pasture mate play hard, and suffer the consequences!

8/22/2007 10:20:18 AM

Used to have a mare that was always getting her tail hung up. She would just stand & wait for help.

One horse is prone to allergic reactions however

8/22/2007 10:00:52 AM

Scrapes on legs, corneal abrasion once (have had him for 9 months).

8/22/2007 9:36:56 AM

My bet horse is vey prone to serious injuries

8/22/2007 9:34:07 AM

We can mitigate many injuries with good fencing, turnout conditions, and management.

8/22/2007 9:31:00 AM

He gets lots of scratches and scrapes from the other horses, but thankfully nothing else.

8/22/2007 9:29:55 AM

Good farm maintenance goes a long way in keeping them safe.

8/22/2007 9:26:54 AM

hot, sound, healthy thoroughbred

Thank God he has an angel watching over him.

8/22/2007 7:43:07 AM
