apparently molly got to walk along the front of the house ... not what i'd planned, but partner had spotted a horse being fed outside the field (one of the geldings from the field opposite the mare's field, the normal place for grazing is along the grassy track between mares and geldings field...) so sensibly took her the other way. and apparently she was very well behaved.
we've been talking some more about nedt week, and think that the bandage can go between the fetlock and the hock to protect the wound... which should be a lot better by then... and we should be ok. i just hope i'm not expecting/trying for too much.... but if the vet says she should be ok, then one can only go with that!!!!
edited to add ... small holed haynets, jean.....! i do know that one........actually many years ago saw a friends horse caught up, was horrendous to get her out as she kept panicking.... nightmare.

Good on the haynet. I was a bit worried. That kind of stuff scares me.
Molly should be sufficiently healed by next week. The light bandage should do fine. Don't be fooled if the leg looks good enough to go unbandaged, though. Those wounds can be tricky. You will definitely want to keep it well protected.
Your partner is very wise in the ways of horses. Good move on taking Molly on an alternate route. I think she must have appreciated the change of scene as well.
