I've known horses to learn to lay down and roll under fencing, too, and others, if the bottom wires are loose, to put their heads under the bottom wire and lift so they can squirm under. Our palomino will do that... :)ocmisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573017187040669068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085959616044196804.post-25449256927549243572010-09-28T18:52:28.659-04:002010-09-28T18:52:28.659-04:00Wow.

Why don't you tell him that he needs to put up a secure fence --so that the horses can't get out???? Seems like it would be his responsibility ... <br /><br />Horses are pretty and they are smart. However, I'm sure you don't want them in your yard.. Pretty soon, they'll want to come inside and have dinner with you... ha<br /><br />Hope today is a good day.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085959616044196804.post-80521522250825263052010-09-28T12:35:41.182-04:002010-09-28T12:35:41.182-04:00I've always loved horses, even if I've bee...I've always loved horses, even if I've been thrown from a few.

I am wondering if the horses have a shelter.<br />My sister and niece probably go to the extreme, but their horses graze in the pasture but they also get some feed in the barn where there water supply is. In severe winter weather they are blanketed at night. They live up in the mountains where the night easily dips below freezing. It is very nice of you to help out, but I do hope you are not expected to take care of them.Myahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065742730008687282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085959616044196804.post-427005681039619612010-09-27T14:19:43.268-04:002010-09-27T14:19:43.268-04:00HI ROSE,

They should be responsible, not you. There isn't much grass left for them to eat and they need supplemental hay and grain. And ocmist is right, the one horse is too thin. If they had enough to eat, you would not be able to see their ribs. They may need to be wormed. Pastures need to be rotated too, so maybe they should be moved out of there till next summer. Spring would be too early to pasture them; they could founder through no fault of yours. I've had horses for years, and electric fence is the best way to contain them.Chicken Wranglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450508078538561597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085959616044196804.post-29106236811233838682010-09-27T12:01:41.298-04:002010-09-27T12:01:41.298-04:00I love horses but I've never taken care of one...I love horses but I've never taken care of one.

I tried and tried the other night and it just wouldn't do it!<br /><br />I couldn't see the pics real well of the horses, but from the one, it looked like it might be a bit thin and kind of wormy... sunken withers and a pot belly. That would mean that they are quite hungry and that would be a good reason for them to be "working" at escaping into an area with food.<br /><br />You are being quite gracious, and yes, you do have to be sure your hooks or whatever you use to fasten your gate, are very solid. Some horses can be quite the houdini's! One of my son's horses used to be able to escape most anything not heavy pipe with chains that hooked with small hooks she couldn't open.<br /><br />I would get a piece of chain with hooks that you could wrap around and hook to itself. We still have two horses here. My 23 yr. old Peruvian Horse that I've had since he was 3, and my son's last horse who is also 23. Mick's had Tuffy for almost 10 years now, and he had to leave him here when he got a new, much better job and they moved him. <br /><br />Your story reminded me of the children's story "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie!" :)ocmisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573017187040669068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7085959616044196804.post-57508555196888274682010-09-27T02:38:54.660-04:002010-09-27T02:38:54.660-04:00Oh, gosh, I know you just want to be kind and do w...Oh, gosh, I know you just want to be kind and do what's right, but these horses are causing you a lot of problems and getting out of bed and such. Did you sign a contract with these people, are they paying you? Seems like you should tell them it's their responsibility to keep them out of your yard, or you will no longer give the horses access, citing that this trial is just not going well for you.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
