CJ was manually turned.. since I have to change the direction of the stud
chain..  I wasn't watching the fact that part of the lunge line was
sticking where she could catch a foot (which she did).

Wound is pretty well closed more or less.. just have to wait till it
finishes healing.. only one little tiny open spot so I've still got a
wrap on.. but no leg wrap at the moment. ANother week or two and I'm sure
she'll be fine.
 
 
 
BTW the horse with EPM is getting put down in the morning.. :/
