I can imagine that the Shitland saga will run and run.

After escaping from the garden on Sunday and OH and I trying to catch them for an hour the boys have excelled themselves.

Yesterday I get a phone call saying BH had got through the fence, through mains connected electric fence and was saying hello to the two shetlands next door. Owner took them into a secure area as one is a mare......

I got BH back, took down the fencing, put him back in the paddock, put fencing back up and went home.

7.15 this morning I get an understandably cross call saying both boys were out again and had been running with their mare since goodness knows what time and fighting with their gelding.

I caught the sods and have shut them in the stable.

The fence is wooden posts every 5 feet, plus electric fencing posts between with 6 strands of electic fencing, a combination of tape and string which are stretched very tight. I can hardly move the tape up and down an inch so goodness knows how they managed to squeeze through.

The wooden posts are being concreted in on Saturday and the rails have been ordered. Please tell me they won't be able to escape post and rail ........... will they?
 
shettie in my sig reguarly does his escapes - runs round the YO's garden, trying to find the girls (has no luck), then comes to his senses and stands and eats.

We take him for a walk down the lane with Shy, and he meets a rather cracking mare who he fancies the pants off - he was a working stallion. We sing "crazy Horses" and he adds the high pitched whinnies at exactly the right moments. Tail swishing to the rhythm

I think shetties can get thru/over/out of anything if theres sommit worth having - and a mare is deffo worth having to this boy :D
