Then one night when I went to feed I found that Luc was limping hard on his left foreleg. Nothing in his hoof, but a little swelling and heat in his knee. This next morning, when I came down to feed and clean, I started by removing Jack’s blanket, and then headed for Luc. His blanket was a little twisted up. Suddenly, Luc began bucking and squealing, and charging around the pen, despite pain in his knee sufficient to make him run three legged. I got him stopped long enough to unfasten the front of his blanket so he could run out of it, but he wouldn’t let me touch him, without whirling to try to kick me. I tried to calm him for about five minutes, but when he again attempted to kick me, and almost succeeded, I gave up and fed the boys, leaving them alone to calm down.
