Earlier in the month, Eric the horse was playing with his friend Ravistree in the Sand School.
They were enjoying their daily exercise and happily playing with each other, when Ravistree
accidently kicked Eric.
Eric has suffered a deep cut to his leg and the yard manger, Becky says “He is very lucky, the
cut is superficial and will heal quickly”. Eric has been prescribed antibiotics and it is being
washed daily.
Whilst visiting
Greatwood
, student Matthew Giles, 15, from Uplands School, noticed Amy from
the yard washing Eric’s wound. Matthew wanted to very much help heal Eric and gently washed
his cut with the cold water.
Amy reported, “Eric seemed fond of Matthew and stayed very still while he assisted”.
Greatwood
was very impressed with Matthew’s care and compassion and Eric was pleased to be
helped by him.
