Whilst out on a follow up check on Roborough Down our welfare assistant came across this little stallion with an injury on his hind hock. It could have been obtained through a fight with a rival stallion or from being hit by a vehicle. He is well known to the welfare assistant who contacted his owner immediately. His owner was concerned and assured us he would find him and see he gets the relevant treatment as soon as possible. There is a possibility this stallion will be gelded and put back on the Down. Our welfare assistant will monitor this stallions condition.
27/03/2012: Our welfare assistant went to check on this little stallion today and is pleased to report his leg has healed well. He has a finger tip size wound on his hind hock that has scabbed over and seems to be healing well, there is no sign of infection and he is no longer stiff in his hind leg. He is, however, still a stallion.
