timing could not have been worse really ..... I am only four weeks after having fairly major gynea op so needed last few days ( and especially today) like a hole in the head 
Friends and I rent land and have four horses between us. Last week horse 1 lame on foreleg but not disastrous. though maybe he slipped hoolying in mud and it seemed better couple days later.
Friday I knew as soon as got to gate of yard summat wrong as my darling coblet did not come to field gate to greet me..... went round corner and she was standing on three legs , one hind waving in the air. Three hours later vet arrived .... thinks it abcess. ( Horse 1 is also lame again , not bad but still lame). Poulticed and left her and companion in stoned yard as little field too muddy. ( she just does not do stables at all and we do yard during winter)
Saturday arrive to change poultice etc......... friends not 2 horse now on three legs as well so phoned friend to come down and vet out again ! Second horse now been pouilticed.
With my horse the Vets duct tape "boot" had come off despite his assurances his never do 
.... so I re poultice using boa boot to keep it in place.... ok. Fence of part of the yard where deep water gathered where drain not coping and bit where an attempt to fix drain had been done with gravel ! ( not my choice)
Today ..... oh lordy ....... arrive in storm conditions to find yard more or less flooded, the field gate open and all the horses out together in field swamp .Then as we pass the stables heard a crack and then this massive tree crashes down on the end of the stables. Luckily it was the side branches rather than the main trunk that hit the stables .... but any horse in there would have had a heck of a shock.
Get horses in and both poultices now sodden and boots full of liquid mud (they have drainage holes plus the water in part of the field is over level of boots anyway). Horse also shivering ...... they are normally very waterproof hairies that never need rugs but the gale force wind and stormy rain has got past even their defences.
soooooo Have to tape of part of yard where tree down but still leave some shelter there ( to have a different direction form the field shelter as the wind is blowing right into it ) and will have to now let them stay in the little field as well. Then dry and rug four horses and poultice two (friend never done one before so I did her horse as well to show her how). Her ned does not like plastic bags and never had one put on her feet before so understandably not too keen and waving foot about a bit ... luckily mine could not care less 
. Hopefully the bags will keep these dressings dry.
Put loaaaaads hay out and feed ......... phew
I thought it was just meant to be raining today .... not gale force winds. Never had any lameness with these horses bar minor lammi and sodding three in one week in the most atrocious weather and when I am crook !!!!
Have had hot shower, and in dry clothes and had 
Please, please to the weather controller.... can we have dry weather for a bit . Any and all healing vibes for our neddies will be gratefully received . Thank you.
