escapee!

[assuan]

Just had a phone call from the YO's wife to say my lad has just jumped both the electric and post and rail from fence from his paddock out into the road.

Luckily a passer-by herded him back onto the farm and the YO has put him into the other paddock with the gelds.

My OH is on her way to the yard to check on him and make peace with the YO's....

Whoops, whats he going to be like when he reaches his full size bless him. Was he hurt?

 

[assuan]

he's fine, the cheeky little git!
I'm sure if he'd of known the code for the auto. gates he'd of let himself back in...

don't mean to be flippent, but at least you know he can jump ha ha, mine jumped over a 5 bar gate as a yearling, I saw it happen which was horrifying, being bullied by another horse after no injuries found I was quite chuffed, having said that it wasn't into a road!!! looks like you may need higher fencing, why was he trying to escape?

Sometimes they are having a gallop and just can't stop in time!, others just "jump for fun"

I'm so glad Nadia doesn't jump fences. If its electric and another horse has knocked it over she still may not go over it, depends how brave she is feeling and how much grass is on the other side I guess.
