I have the mare I ride and a 14.2 pony companion. Both 8 years old and have lived together since they were 4.
Both are happy to go out in their field or ride out on their own.
But the pony has started escaping - takes no notice of electric fencing, pushes it over, walks through it or somehow grovels under.
Jumps over ditches, pushes through hedges, jumps post and rails.
She does it on her own or if shes with.her friend ( the other mare stays behind on her own).
She does it if theres hay in the field, or grass - its not like shes going out for food.
So this past week she has had to stand in her stable, while the other mare enjoys the field.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience of tethering? Or hobbles?
I know that sounds awful but I hate her standing in a stable the whole time with just a daily lead out.
Thank you.
