Around about 4pm I checked out the barn cameras and my #horse was down and didn't look right. Instantly, I started freaking out that she was colicking! I ran downstairs threw on my insulated Bern bibs and jacket, and got out there as fast as I could. She wickered long and hard when I came into the barn calling her name in a panic. She was cast on her side up against the stall gate and the wall of the stall and she kept looking at her side.
She was literally stuck against the wall on her side and I dont think she knew how to get up. She seemed bewildered. I don't know how long she had been that way. I threw a halter on her and I told Hubby to grab her front legs and push them away from the wall and flip her over on her back. She was calm and didn't kick or struggle. She knew we were helping her, that we'd come to rescue her.
He rolled her over and she quickly got up. I didn't know if she was colicking or not, so I decided we needed to walk outside. We took her out into her paddock and she immediately started bucking and rearing!
I let her out of her halter and she ran around. That meant she was OKAY! She is always an itchy horse, and I think she was rolling around in the stall trying to itch her back under her blanket and then she got stuck/cast on her back and didn't know how to get up. 😂 She is no worse for wear and came directly back inside to start scarfing down her dinner hay. PHEW! moral of story: barn cameras are game changers and a very important piece of equipment/kit.
