molly being on box rest has made an already busy week busier = we'd booked a night out with friends last night, i had a late afternoon/early evening meeting tonight, which i left an hour early, and tomorrow we've got pre booked tickets for a film that starts at 5.30pm!
so molly had her first day in the bull pen today; i decided, bull pen through the day, her own stable overnight - she seemed happy enough, but of course i don't know how much pottering in and out she did. i reckon she spent most of her time in the stable eating, and certainly hadn't poo'd in the yard area.
she was pleased to see me and get taken out for a bit of grass.
but it's annoying all these evening activities, as i haven't had the time to put her massage pad on at all, since sunday. shame.
don't really have time in the morning, even though i am working at home - although, think i'll work on that and make that happen as well, i feel sure it'll do some good as the vibrations from the massager work through the body, even though the direct effect is over her back.

The days fill up quickly with things to do, don't they? Letting Molly choose where she wants to be is good. That way, if she does stay inside, it's not because she was forced to, so somehow that makes you feel better.
The massage pad would be good. Now all you need to do is find the time to use it.
Claire...I get a kick out of the term "box rest." We call it "stall rest" across the pond. Very familiar with that...I had to have my mare on eight months of box rest a couple years ago for a fractured coffin bone. It was awful.
Sorry Mollie's not right! Going through the same with Bruce at the mo. Frustrating not knowing exactly what the problem is, isn't it!
yes . as somneone said the other day, it's a lot easier, if messier, if you can see a wound, at least you know where to start looking!
sorry to hear about the coffin bone fracture photogchic, that must have been a nightmare!
A bull pen - we would just call it a stall with a run. It's a great option.
oh poor Molly (and poor you with all the mucking out) hope she's better soon.
