taken a couple of years ago now, a fine example of the perception "the grass is always greener." He lent on the dry stone wall until it collapsed, walked through until the barbed wire on the one side, and the wall on the other came to a point. We had to cut the wire, it was new fencing as well so dad was less than impressed. But he came out with a couple of superficial cuts on chest and bottom, which is very lcuky!

I remember this when you first put it up.

I'd actually say that he is pretty smart, he stood still. How many other horses would panic and rip themselves to shreds trying to get out of that predicament?

I hate that wire, but needs must and no criticism intended, I have the stuff too...keeps the coyotes out of my goat pens, and is the only thing that keeps minis in anyway! One of my paint mares clipped the breast strap of her rug to the fence once and stood there all night waiting for rescue judging by the pile of muck at her back end, if it had been some of the others I'd have had the fence ripped down.

It is horrible stuff, we never turn the horses out with it, which is why there is a wall to separate the two- but dear oshkeypops obviously thought better of it!
