I have had a serious set back this week end to my ongoing training programme. I arrived at the stables on Saturday about 4.00pm just in time to see my horse going crazy. He was literally climbing the walls I kid you not. He was breathing fire and scrambling and climbing up the walls to try to get over to the other side. He was demonic as if we was possessed. I didn't know what to do. The sight of him in this uncontrollable wild state caused me deep anxiety. Already he had cut his legs by scraping them on the walls. I was desperate, what can I do? I called my mum and told her everything - she said right, move him NOW to another stable, one with four solid walls and a door. Put him in there and shut the door and leave him there. Give him nothing but bran mash this evening and for the next 3 days. Check his legs, if there are bad wounds I will come over and treat them now. If superficial put hydrogen peroxide on them and leave them. She said if he is not moved now he is in danger of killing himself.
I did everything she said and it worked. It took him an hour or so to settle once he was moved into the other stable.
I will write again tomorrow on his condition and tell you all a lot more. It is late now.
