So this is a little graphic for some people but still a very true story and one that is a once in a life time happening....
Flash back to little me who got a horse for their birthday! Super exciting! I was the happiest little girl alive! I went down to the farm to find a 3 year old mare with the name Lilly... I had just gotten the horse of my dreams... and she was a horse that would teach me many lessons and this is a pretty important one, horses can and will get hurt and can and will hurt each-other.... Lilly was let into the lot by the barn with Candy... Candy was a 30+ year old mare at the time, so she was definatly older... Lilly however was not so calm and nice... in the mess of the whole thing Lilly kicked Candy in a very bad spot. This very bad spot was into her vulva.... and Lilly's hoof tore into Candy's vulva.... They were imediatly seperated and Candy was bleeding a lot... the vet wasn't called as we used cold water and cloths to help stop the bleeding... I remember being pretty scared and seeing that much blood was scary to little kid me... Candy ended up being just fine in the end, and they were seperated by a gate for some time after that until they got to know eachother better.... lesson learned, but I don't think that it will ever happen to me again, just bad luck that that was where her hoof went... Here are pictures of Candy (Right) and Lilly (Left) for you guys.
