Right so I just took Spice over to one of the neighbours houses to let him play with their two minis. The one is a mare and her about 1 yr old colt. So we let them all into the ring and all was good but then all of a sudden the mare got insanely protective of her colt. She was charging and going bonkers at him...anyway before I could grab Spice she kicked him real hard in his mouth. I heard the "knock" on his jaw/teeth from the other side of the ring. Anyway there was no blood that I could see but he won't let me touch his mouth (usually I can touch it all I want) because obviously it's really hurting. His front teeth all seemed fine. So I just gave him his grain to see if he could eat it. He ate it fine but some would fall out of his mouth then he'd have to pick it up again. |
Mum and I were just talking about it...we saw it from two different angles...So what happened was the mares hoof actually came up and hit him from the bottom. I think that might've also caused him to bite his tongue.
Ok a little bit of an update...I went out and checked all over his face/mouth. Everything seemed normal except right under his nostrils(like on his muzzle) if I touched that he got really upset. If I tried lifting it up to see his front teeth he would also get very upset. His bottom front teeth are fine...and his top front teeth look fine and felt fine. So I think it might just be sore as well as his "lip" is really sore.
Man I've seen mares get nasty but she was just...wow really nasty to my boy. His face when he got kicked...I almost felt like crying. He deffinetly didn't know what hit him and his feelings are deffinetly crushed. I feel so bad.
So what do yall think?
