I'm sure if the vet had been really concerned he wouldn't have let you bring him home - he's tough he'll get through and probably keep away from horses too :huggles:

Bless Tia and Ollie what o o they are

So sorry to hear this Nicky, have you given him Arnica? It really helps with bruising. Hopefully he will be feeling a bit better now the painkillers have started to work. :huggles:
