| Special Treatment Care And Rehabilitation |
| This is Sneakers. An APHA Buckskin stallion that injured his leg when caught in high tensile wire. Not a good picture but he was in MSU for a 5 X 5 inch invert "U" laceration to the dorsal aspect of the right hock was present exposing the cannon bone & transecting the long digital flexor tenton. He was lucky enough to not damage anything with any of the hock joints. He needed stall rest until the wound healed. The owner was working 12 to 15 hours a day & did not have the time to change the bandage as was needed. |

| This is Betty Boop. An APHA weanling filly that was injuries by a nylon braid electric fence. Pictures are taken here at 2 weeks after the injury. She had ripped off everything from the hock to the pastern down to the bone. Same type of injury but more damage then on the stallion above. Vet advised to put her down. This filly had to be stall 24/7 with cleaning & changing of the bandage. This filly is going to make it with the daily care she had here at Sunrise Farm. She should have minimum scaring. 2-8-07 Update * 7 months later her leg is still healing. She has no problem using her leg in any way and she will be ridable. It is doing great! |
