So we divided the big pasture today in an effort to let the 3 babies and 3 adults out to graze on half made just for them. The other half is for the horses that were already out there.
Sooooo......opened the gate to the small pasture so they could go out. Everyone went batshit crazy running, Rebel took out part of the electric fence we just spent 3 1/2 hours putting up. Got the small pasture horses back in the small pasture and decided to give it up for the day. Omg I'm in pain like no other.
I hope the fence is hot, we changed out chargers and I PRAY that the pasture horses remember after dark that the fence is there. I would greatly appreciate waking up to peace and quiet with no mishaps during the night.
I think I'm going to have to put River in the dry lot for a little while and turn the mares and babies out and see how that goes. Not sure yet what the right combination is going to be. Hopefully by weeks end we will have it all figured out. I'm going to be out of hay so they need to go out to pasture. Might pick up a roll of the white fence tape to remind everyone there is a fence there. Have to check cost!
I'd greatly appreciate this pain coming to a halt!
That is all.....except to say we don't have days like this usually and I do love my horses. I just wish they'd be a little safer for themselves.
