InactiveI will relinquish my pride and admit, I left my toe in the wrong spot too long. Boy that hurts. I started this thread, hoping to hear other horror stories that will make me feel better. Why did he step on the little toe ?:o

ParticipantSame reason that Bella kicked the ball of my left foot(don’t ask) with her front foot. I had it in the wrong place at the wrong time,doing something I shouldn’t have. Hurts like H–L!!!!!!!!

ParticipantThe times I have been stepped on it was on the outside of my foot. Always my fault. That just makes it hurt even more.
October 10, 2012 at 10:55 pm #75347ParticipantTim; I had my feet crossed(again,don’t ask). LOL

ModeratorI was getting ready to use the big team on my new Schipshe culti-mulcher this past July. I brought both horses through the large gate at the same time. Suddenly the trouble maker made a dash for grass and the other, a big 2300#er, was on me with his hind caulked shoe pivoting on the top and middle of my foot, at least we were on dirt and not concrete. It is still tender, but now I lead one at a time out when it involves the trouble maker.

ParticipantAll things being equal, I usually pitch a bigger fit about being casually stepped on by my big goat than by my 1700lb unshod horses. But if there’s a kerfluffle involved, things can turn bad in a hurry with the horses + feet while the goat trauma usually maxes out with a holler and some cussing.
dominiquer60 I cringed outwardly when reading your description of the caulked shoe pivoting on the top of your foot.
October 13, 2012 at 9:10 pm #75342ModeratorGrey it was not as extreme as a pulling shoe, but certainly designed for extra purchase. He knew his foot was not on a desirable surface, but the pressure from the trouble maker was greater than the colorful words and smacks on his rump.

Erika, I cringed too. I think I hate the limping around for 6 to 8 weeks worse than first pain. Because you can’t just stop working.Watch your toes !
October 14, 2012 at 1:32 am #75343ModeratorThe next couple days were hard, but after dealing with a heal spur and plantar facetious for a year I will take being stepped on any day.
It can happen to any of us, and anyone who says they have never been stepped on just jinxed themselves 🙂

ParticipantThe worst for me was when I was soaking my Canadian’s foot for an abscess and due to his Shivers he jerked it from my hand and smashed it on my foot. He had no idea what had happened. When the Shiver’s spasm hits him he can not control it. I had some friends there and had to act all cool about it, like it did not really hurt. I did use it as an excuse to take the next day off from my day job. Silver lining that was.
