I am so mad at myself. Just 3 nights ago while I was filling water buckets I noticed the little plastic end pieces were missing off of Rose's bucket handles. I thought to myself "Have hubby crimp those ends" and got busy and forgot all about it. OH!
Now today she's paying the price. She was fine when I walked into the barn. She's right in the first stall to greet me. I set out filling the water tubs and putting out hay and when I came back her face was covered with blood. She caught the top of her left nostril in that little gap where the handle wraps around the bucket (the place that collects all the mane and tail hairs) and ripped it open. Her perfect little face!!! (she has an amazingly beautiful head). I cleaned her up and Doc had me put vaseline on it until he can get here this afternoon to stitch her up. Its such a jagged tear. I'm praying she won't scar. Could something like this ruin her potential show future?
I'm just mad at myself for being so careless.
