Had an interesting day today. This morning one of my horses decided to skin half of his face. Fortunately I was there as am not often and it most likely would have ended in infection and death if he wasn't treated. My vet has never seen anything so bad and neither have I. Therefore if you can stomach some gruesome pictures...

Image of actual injury is quite full on so I shall put it here.

After we sewed him back together :(

And finally.. what caused it:

Nine years of happy until now on the least likely item in the paddock. wtf.

Thanks guys :(

As you can see with the last photo, the chain links around a gate and reconnects to that metal piece in the lhs of the pic. I'm guessing he tried to put his head through to reach 'greener' grass, pulled back and caught the edge on his jaw somehow. Seems ridiculously hard to do but it's the best I've got. Searched the whole paddock for other signs but the hair makes me pretty sure it was here.

Was indeed way too close to his eye but fortunately missed even ripping to the edge, was always about 7mm away. So lucky in some ways but so damn harsh in others. I love this guy, he's the sweetest dopiest horse I've ever had.

Will spend the next couple of weeks watching him like a hawk and injecting penicillin morning and night.

Better chuck him on the dyno to check he still has his 1hp after that :/:P

But nuh that sucks! Lucky it didn't get his eye. Would hate to see the before patching him up pic :/

She posted a before pic if you do want to see it.

Lucky you were there!

Civil engo and enviro engo. I'll probably choose civil.

Just need a 25 in english now

ive heard its hard to find jobs with civil eng.

I reckon enviro eng will be hot property in a couple of years, but its a specialised engineering so its risky...

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
