Horse has deathwish, I have had enough.

[Enfys]

I am totally fed up with horses to be quite honest. I have put two on the market and am considering selling one of the mares too.

You make your fields as safe as you possibly can, blah,blah,blah............they have acres to roam in, so why does the stupid horse choose to roll 3' from the gate and get himself well and truly tangled up in it ?

There was no way I could get anywhere near him (to do what?) Finally his struggles lifted the entire gate off it's hinges. Thank God we had not reversed the hinges otherwise I think we'd be looking at broken bones rather than a few superficial scrapes.

Apart from daily 'maintenance' and selling those two, I'm having a break for a couple of weeks from all things horsey.

I don't no what makes horses do it and they don't learn from it either!
I break sounds like a good idea. I think you can have enough of horses and need to get away, it doesn't mean you don't want them anymore.

oh how typical...thank goodness no one was badly hurt. I dont know about horses having death wishes but i think we all must have!

Yes, horses do seem to be lemming-like in their attempts to commit suicide and self harm.
We need padded cells for them.

sell it on...let somebody else have the stress/expense!!!

I know how you feel!

Tex is the worst I have ever seen! I cannot wait to get rid of him!

Now Chester could be left in a stall full if barbed wire and daggers and not get hurt but put Tex in any situation and he will be sure to find the danger option!

Who are you selling??

Horses, without doubt, can be the biggest pain in the butt, especially when you have a lot of them, but you will get over it, honestly you will.

We had a trial tonight and I'll tell about it later, but it's just one of those things - horses are what they are and in my case I make a good enough profit on my horses to know that hiccups come and go but at the end of the day, it's definitely worth the aggro.

Cheer up! It'll get better - it really will.
