SMASH!

This is the sound that I imagine the four board fence made when Reily went straight through it.  We don't know what caused it (Scotty being an dictatorial ass, everyone running and Reily slipping in the mud and falling through it, anything Murphy's law related with horses) but Reily managed to obliterate all four boards in one panel of fence dividing the upper and lower fields.  In the process he managed to skewer his left foreleg with a piece of board right inside his "armpit" area.  When I got to the barn after work tonight to feed he had bald spots and blood all over his front legs.  I hadn't needed a vet since I'd moved the horses so this wasn't a fun way to meet the vet in the area.  Luckily she came right out, sedated him (lightweight again! see "If only we could all be lightweights" for explanation), cleaned it up, put 12 stitches in it (6 in the muscle, 6 in the skin), and put him on antibiotics for a week.  Hopefully this isn't setting any sort of pattern!  Horses, you've gotta love them or else they'd drive you mad!
