Horse Trapped Under Fence: Multiple Injuries

I got called to a horse 24 hours after he had become trapped under a fence after the post he was rubbing against gave way. He panicked as he was being cut free and ended up with a swollen eye and hock, two haematomas between his front legs, a split lip, a wood burn and puncture wounds in various places. I gave him and his owner the 4-minute Stress Release and used the purple all over and the Bioptron where I could see wounds.

When we let him go he walked away and started eating, which he hadn't done up until then. I went back the next morning and found his eye normal, the haematomas almost gone and the hock only slightly swollen. I repeated everything and he was very happy to stand and have it done. The next morning the owner called and said not to bother coming again; he was happy and moving freely.
