Farm, keep horses, got married, yadda yadda???????????
In relation to my ground rod post, the foals slip under the fence like deer and come and go as they please. Grown horses stay in (at least in daylight or when you have plenty of time)...
Got off work yesterday evening, had supper, and went for a "quick" trip to switch mares and foals to a different pasture. Finished just at dark and went to the others before going home. One pasture was missing a horse. Fence all good but one missing. Dark and I could see no eyes shining in the spotlight so figgered she was cuttin across country to the other horses a mile away. Go home, grab the scooter, headlight, and rope and start looking. Not near any of the others, so I just started riding around the area because they know the sound of our vehicles and come looking for goodies. 3 hours later, gave it up with the idea of her being with one of the groups this morning, head home. Pass by where she was missing from and there she was. Inside the fence and eating. Put her in the solid panel paddock and went to bed. Checked this morning and a plastic post was broke at ground level but not noticeable. Stick her head down and it's flip up like a garage door. I had been seeing horse poo up and down that road for the last 3 or 4 weeks and just thought it was someone riding by. Guess she's been taking little nightime excursions to the cornfield and some alfalfa nearby..... Put in a couple posts on each side and left the broken one there. Sure like to be a fly on the wall when she gets zapped trying to open her door.....
