Grrr don't you just hate horses sometimes!

Just had a call from the woman who owns the yard that I rent - apparently my mare escaped this morning (jumped the fence!!) As this is a decent 4ft fence that was quite a feat, plus she is due to foal in March/April! Anyway, the other mare she was out with decided she would also try, but took the top rail off

They can only 'escape' onto parkland and arable land, so no harm done, and they were caught quickly enough. All this because I restricted their grazing due to a laminitis scare a month ago! It looks like muzzles will have to go back on and they'll be back out on the parkland

Lucky the yard-owner is horse-savvy and caught them for me, as I work an hour and a half away!

Oh nooooooooo, glad they were caught and no harm done!!

Yep they drive you potty sometimes, unless they make the rules, you can guarantee horses will try and break them. Hope your mare ok.

Little rascals. Good odds then that the foal will be a good jumper based on the mother!

and it's always at a time when either you can't do anything about it or when you have little time to sort it out!

Glad they're both ok though...

Maybe its the time of year....my mare barged out of her stable last night and jumped straight over the p&r fence out of my yard......don't they just drive you mad!

Divasmum - I hope so, the mare has Donnerhall as her Dam-sire and Alme Z as her sire

Hoping for big things from the wee-one when it is born.
