Yesterday when I was driving my mini on some real nice trails, we had our first accident. Vet thinks she might have gotten stung by a bee, but I dont know for sure what happened. Sunni was crusing along, happy as a clam, when she started bucking, and then kicking, and got tangled in the harness and cart. She bolted, kicking the entire time. We didnt get too far before I got her stopped and bailed out to get her unharnessed. By that time, she had cut herself pretty good on the hooks on the single tree. She was bleeding pretty bad, so my daughter led her the mile out of the woods. With sunni on one side, and pulling the cart along on the other, she made it safely to the trailer. ( my daughter graciously let me ride her horse out of the woods, since I cannot walk very far at the moment). Sunni is ok, didnt require stitches, just needs to heal up from her puncture wound.
Have any of you experienced an accident with your mini? How do you get them safely driving again? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
