E.'s ankle has now turned a wonderful shade of purple - dark plum to be exact - and the swelling is still quite significant. She is able to move around fairly well with the boot on but is tired by the end of the school day and does feel some pain.
Curly might have a pulled hamstring. He is favoring his hind right leg but does not appear to be in any great pain. (We can tell because usually the more pain he is in, the closer to his stall he poops. Extreme pain causes him to poop in his actual stall. So far he is pooping near, but not in, his stall.) The barn manager has graciously offered to take him to the vet for us. (He favored this same leg a week or so ago but then appeared to be fine. I don't think the fall caused this injury, just maybe exacerbated it.)
I don't think I can say enough how lucky we are to have A., the barn manager, in our lives. She is a great blessing in so many ways!
