My horse has developed narcolepy. When I witnessed an episode Star went backwards in her stall, hit the back of the stall, had all four legs go out from under her and when she went down hit her head on the side of the stall. A call to the vet has not settled my nerves. When she hit the stall with her head she had skinned off her hair in two places and had a good sized bump over her left eye.
I am trying to find some kind of helmet for her. If I pad her stall with something that would cushion her during and attack I know she would chew it. Rubber floor mats do not have enough give to them. So far all I have been able to find are head bumpers. Good for the top of the head but not for the eye area and the rest of her face.
I have had her since birth (she is 13 yrs old) . Like most horse lovers I don't like to see her get hurt!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can protect her from hurting herself?
Thanks,
Pam Hillier
