Debbie Downer Pays A visit

Another bummer as we get reacquainted with Murphy's Law.  Took short time instead of long with new steeds.

. Went to retrieve the horses for training Mon. aft. They were grazing as always way out on the 70 acres. #7 goof balling around as usual.  #148 just walking, and an RR hmmmm. Without lameness though.  The other two horses on the way to the fee buckets were full of themselves.  #148 continued to just walk and somewhat dejectedly so.  Was considering possible colic except the horse dug right into his food.  They'll take a few bites then stop when colicing.  #148 continued eating enthusiastically.  Scratch colic.

On inspection, this:

Swollen up like a grapefruit.  70 freaking acres of open grassland and the idiot runs into a wire.  Cleaned out Tues eve by Vet who is worried  re joint involvement, infection and healing. Most of the synovial fluid leaked out.  I'm optimistic, however #148 will be out three weeks.  Will see.
