Had Our Fair Share Of Bad Luck For A While..

Well what an evening...I got to the yard last night to ride Johnny to be met by my yard manager M covered in blood telling me "not to worry"....it seems that Johnny had somehow cut himself under his chin and had caught a major vein. The vet was on his way...but I had never seen so much blood, it was pouring out. The vet was able to sedate him and stitch the (fairly small) cut to stop the bleeding and other than a 2am hiccough when we had to get the emergency vet out because he had started bleeding again, he seems to be over the worst.

It has been quite a year with Johnny what with his colic & arthritis too and I just hope that the old adage of 'things happening in threes' is true and we have had our fair share of bad luck for a while!
