I have been away on business for the past week & away from stockies ...which is why I haven't responded.

Paris is fine .... the wound is all healed now, but there is a small area without hair & I expect it will stay that way. She is back in traiing & going really well.

Paris has a really sweet kind nature & is not fussed by anything .....which probably is some of the reason she healed so well, she just took it all in her stride.

She is jumping upto a metre at home & working well on the flat. I even think Skito has her flying changes established now .... but dont quote me on that one lol.

I will add that she was never lame, but we did have a few issues with forward when we brought her back into work .... I thought mabe the scarring pulled a bit, but she has been worked through that & all is good.

I have an exceptional vet who was a great support to me with paris & others .... I feel very privlidged & lucky to know a person of his calibre & I am sure ....so is Paris

Everything I did was under his instruction & I stuck to that dispite advice to the contrary. I am very happy with the result.

CD .... Rahni is a very special horse & you will do great things with him. I have known him for years, so i know what he is capable of when he has built his muscle back. I also know just how stunning he looks when in top condition. Having had a couple of years on no work means it willt ake a while for you to get him back there ..... but trust me on this one.... he is one awesome horse & lots prettier than Paris LOL

haha KC... you cant say that about your own horse!!! LOL.

yeah he is getting there slowly his neck is musclier now and his ribs are covered well and he is holding himself now except for the odd lean. but that is because he isnt quite all there yet. but that is okay. we working on it

That's truly horrific.
Hopefully the muscle damage will repair with enough elasticity to allow reasonable movement.
I have found Oticlens is a really good wound spray that is inexpensive enough to use liberally for long periods.

Oh now I feel silly. Being a newbie I only saw your first piccies.

KC Quarter Horses

LOL welcome Tanglefoot & thanks for the advice I do have Oticlens in my first aid cabinet .....however as you kow realise Paris is all better.

In fact she left for her new home on Tuesday to be an eventer I have no doubt James ....her new owner will spoil & love her like we did & while it was really sad to see her go I will look forward to see her out & about with James.

She got to travel in a big pink float LOL ...... Hopefully James will not get too much flack about having a pink float & a horse called Paris LOL ( I think he has 4 daughters that ride .....hence the pink float LOl)

Holy hell indeed! I would have had a coronary if I opened the float to that (and I would definitely need a box or two of Kleenex for myself). You have done a fine job and the injury is much improved. I too have had two serious emergency injuries of late -- one a leg and one a sliced up face requiring stitches. But mine pale in comparison to yours!
