Took the morning off work today to ride - it was lovely

Put them all back in their respective paddocks. Bare paddock for baby bear (Shetland ), medium grassy paddock for mummy bear (plump Welsh Cob) and lots of grassy paddock for daddy bear (skinny Welsh Cob).

Get home from work tonight and skinny cob is in with Shetland - erm.......

And Plump is in shetland's extra bare paddock....erm.....

So... go for a walk down field. Hang on, I know my torch is crap, but where's the fence gone?

Oh look - there it is, lying on the ground. All 75 metres of it. Each fence post lovingly snapped off near ground level so it's now a spear

Let me guess......

Skinny Welsh cob who normally jumps in with plump Welsh Cob, got scared, because a tree rustled, or the wind blew, right when she was standing by the fence.

And without any thought - she attempted to jump it. Over the 3 strands of electric rope.

One at 1 ft so Shetland doesn't get under it. One at 3ft so Plump doesn't climb through, and one at 5ft high to stop Skinny jumping out ...... but like the stable door incident earlier in the year, she thought she should take a punt and leap. Oh dear, didn't make it. Got caught. Wrecked the lot.

Must've terrified her and the others. One fence post snapping sounds like a shot being fired, 20+ must've been a terrific noise.

I'm so glad she hasn't hurt herself or the others.

My horse is an idiot

MH so glad that she did not spear herself like my dippy TB and present you with a bill of over £500 .... most probably similar to the FS incident earlier in the year

Glad your horse is ok, but oh boy isn't it just blinking irritating when all the posts snap and you then have to spend hours on the end of your day repairing it all.
Horses who would have them?

Yes - what's more irritating is that there's now no daylight until the weekend to do all the work.

I've shoved them in the Shetlands' summer paddocks with hay, as main field is now too dangerous with rope and fence stakes lying all over the place.

Thank goodness for small mercies.

How many times will she attempt to jump things that are impossible?!

She's jumped that fence many times downhill - usually when I'm trying to catch her

But up hill, it's over my head
