We are getting ready for the show this next week so Jessie went out and gave Ellie a bath an conditioner. Then she was going to walk her until she was dry. We have a bridge across a dip right behind our house and into the house. I get to the laundry room and told Jessie "Don't you bring that horse in this house". About that time Ellie side steps and off the bridge she goes. She only fell about 3 feet. I checked her over and I thought she was ok. Well, Jessie gets her out front and I looked at Ellie again. She caught her left front heel on a nail that was sticking out of the bridge at the back door. She is not lame on it. I think she could have used a stitch or two but I don't think she would have stood for me to do that so I did the next best thing. After I cleaned it I placed a gauze pad on it and We had some of that web tubing so I put it over the pad and wraped her foot with a vet wrap. I changed the bandage about 4 hours later really cause I wanted to see of it was going to stick back on with out stitches and it is. I am going to keep her wraped with a protective bandage except for her classes the end of next week.
