Within a fraction of a second
I knew that I had done something very stupid
as with so many really stupid moves
thinking it didn't help
Blam
damage done
1200 pounds of mule
unintentionally slamming down
right on top of my left toe
ouch .... an understatement
So here's just a little friendly advise....When trying to readjust a turnout blanket never stand right in front of the animal wearing the blanket. Especially if there is a bit of static in the air. Pow, the mule got a static shock and shot forward like a bolt. In a blink of an eye she repositioned all her body weight right down on my foot, which happened to be right in the way of her forward motion!!! In my forty-plus years of keeping horses this is my second such injury. And kinda like a bad sunburn ... I feel very dumb to have let it happen!
Has it ever happened to you?
