Good vibes please guys

Was down at the yard this evening and one of the ponies(an oldie) went down suddenly in it's box.Went down with one hell of a bang too.
Looked to me like a fit if some kind,or perhaps even a heart problem.......neck outstreched,blowing quite hard,eyes glazed over and then down it went....back end went first,then it crashed against the side of the box.
Ran to get the YO,who was about as useful as the proverbial chocolate teapot.

Anyway,after a few minutes it got up,almost as if nothing had happened.It was like it had just come round from an anaesthetic or something,very bizarre. Had a coughing fit straight after it got up......

Really hope it's OK,and that the YO has phoned the ponies' owner to let her know.

Fingers crossed guys that it's nothing serious

Glad to hear that it got up and appeared well. It sounds like a seizure or a Transient Eschemic Attack (mini stroke). I hope the owner get it checked-out. fingers crossed it may not happen again.

Thanks Stella.I wondered if it was some kind of stroke.
She seemed fine,if a little dazed a short while after.....off to the yard now,fingers crossed it's still on it's feet.

Sounds like a fit or stroke to me too. Let us know how he/she is please. Fingers crossed he/she is OK.

Thanks Gwenoakes.
Well,she was still on her feet this morning, hopefully that's a good sign.

Just makes you wonder how many times that's happened and noone's been there to see it?Was only at the yard that late as we'd been visiting family and got delayed.....
