Assuan has been going out in an isolation field so he can eat lots of good grass, we're restricting his grazing to be safe.
He's been a bit lonely in the field on his own, calling out to all of the nearby horses trying to make friends. So much so that he decided to jump through a barbed wire fence and get stuck between paddocks.....
Managed to get him out without any further injuries; he's cut all his legs and his chest quite badly, my main concern was tetanus, what with not being sure about his vaccinations. I managed to call Tolo and discuss if Assuan had been vaccinated against anything, he hadn't. I immediately called the vets, explained the situation and they come down to give him a couple of shots, one to start the tetanus and another to attack anything he'd caught from the barbed wire. Next few days we're going have to clean out the wounds and put wound cream on until they start to heal up. Poor little thing, I felt really guilty as though I'd let him down.
