Bad To Worse

12/17/13 --owner fresh out of truck, shoots a happy looking vid, or so it seemed just then. Clue #1--pause vid to see blood on middle horse's nose:

Vid #2 walk into paddock to see more blood--on ground.

Unable to diagnose due to all the blood.  Some sort of injury in there though little a vet could do at this point. Decision made to wait 24 hrs and see what's up. Horse poked himself, hit himself, got caught in another fence--unknown..

Scene next day 12/18 in a strong wind:

 30 horses on this farm. One that continuously injures himself.  I had posted better chance that #148 kills himself first before ever making it to a race track--way too smart and precocious for his own good. I am without facilities for such an energetic animal unfortunately.  I just want to avoid imprisoning him in a little enclosure.  Let 'em have their life, come what may. The horse lost another chunk in his heel bulb area, and at least two weeks more of training.
