Date: 2007-10-04 07:24 am (UTC)He has a scar under his throat where the ulcer split - which saved him .... the ulcer grew to just smaller than a tennis ball in size.
The second infection he had was less severe - but all the yard were affected this time - with the first pony being a miniature Shetland called Timmy.
In other words it is the horse equivalent of "Foot and Mouth" - and is dreaded by the equine world!
Thanks for asking!!

Date: 2007-10-04 10:50 am (UTC)He was a very good patient as he had 44 days in his box with no contact with anyone other than his nurse for the day - and then it was only for a short time. He was not allowed to be near other horses either. So once he was over the worst he must have got bored - but never tried to escape!!

I'm glad DJ is okay now.

I know a lot of little ones who like horse stories.

Imagine you're telling a child you know about DJ and his friends.
I can see DJ and Co. adventures :-)

Date: 2007-10-04 06:31 am (UTC)You are so lucky to have the space for DJ to play around like that! Having grown up in the city, we were lucky enough to live in an area where we could have horses and access the mountain trails, but we did not have the open space where we could just let them go have fun without trailering them to some far off location. It makes me feel a bit sad for my old equine companions.
