Rug Houdini...

[finkle]

had a text today from another livery to say our pony had got her rug off . expecting to find it trashed..it was however all still done up except that the fillet string had snapped.

so for the life of me I cannot work out how she got out of it! any ideas?

so the neck velcros were still done up..the two front straps and the surcingles...?

my friend had a mare that did this, one day i brought her in and changed her rug. in the time it took me to make her feed she was naked!!! Must be very flexible i think!!

One of my mares did it once, my 1st thought was someone had stolen the rug off her back but I found it in a heap in the field, all straps intact and not a mark on it. No idea how she did it.

It must be a mare thing! My old mare did just the same in the field a few years ago. All straps still done up - even the legs straps Would have loved to see her do it - she was very smug when I brought her in!

Head down, shake, wiggle, repeat till it's over their head and step out of sircingles? I don't know I've never seen it happen but I imagine that's what I'd do if I were a horse pulling a houdini
Impressive trick tho!

My girl does this a few times a year, as you say all the straps buckles velcro all done up how do they do it lol

Kali's done it more than once . . . only in his stable though. But then he's a monkey anyway . . . always playing with, chewing, chucking about anything within reach - so I probably shouldn't have been surprised.
