When they want out….
January 28, 2012 at 10:43 pm #71725JeanParticipantwhy did they want out so badly?
January 29, 2012 at 1:23 am #71726karl t pfisterParticipantI with you Jean ,the story is in the telling . I once had 2 geldings in a smallish paddock with a 2 yo fresh as can be filly . Well one of the geldings escaped the filly over a 4 ft high board gate nothing broken, horse or wood . I could see marks but after 2 times decided it
weren’t a good match .January 29, 2012 at 10:02 am #71728AnonymousInactiveI SWEAR I’ve heard my horses laughing under their breath about how fences aren’t really rules… they’re more like guidelines. My 7mo bull calf thinks they’re more like challenges!

I am keeping them in a dirt roundpen while I wean them onto the grass, and I forgot to turn on the hotwire (well, technically I turned it on but forgot to hook the handle on the gate which gave juice to their section)
They busted through a post and rail fence and a two strands of wire and were happily running amok on the pasture. Guess I learned my lesson. They hadn’t seen grass in three years or so. I knew they’d do it which was why I hotwired the round pen especially for them. Then forgot to turn it on (palm to forhead)
