As you all probably know by now my horse had a horrific accident in in the summer in a stable with bars dividing it from the other horses when he rolled and got his off hind foot caught between the bars causing him to be stuck upside down for many hours and causing terrible pressure sores as well as a very badly injured pastern.
I have just come back from an evening with my YO and other liveries and they are telling me that locally another horse (different stable to the one where my accident happend) has done exactly the same thing. Now the really scary thing is that this happened on Boxing Day and the owner posted on the Dutch Horse Forum and to date 40 people have posted from all over the country saying "yes my horse too".
They asked me if this happened a lot in the UK and my response was " I don't think so but then we tend to go for the solid wooden or concrete stables" To be honest I have not seen these Barred dividers before outside Holland.
So my question is have they now become popular in the UK?
