Same here. I had a young mare fracture a leg years ago (luckily she recovered after 3 months in a plaster cast) and a friend's horse actually broke her leg and had to be shot. Plus lots of cuts and bumps and bruises, the odd suspensory ligament and so on. I don't think they would like being kept in bubblewrap much though. ; ) Mic Mic (Michelle) Rushen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solva Icelandic Horses and DeMeulenkamp Sweet Itch Rugs: www.solva-icelandics.co.uk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes"
