Well last week we got 2 horses from a rescue group.1 very sweet loving mare named Lil Girl so far still working on that.The we got her dad Toby an 18 year old stallion! Yes stallion. We had him tied in the barn until he calmed down and we could get the vet out to well make him a gelding.We knew it would not stop his want because of how old he is but at least he could not cause any babies.
Well on day 3 I took the dogs out at 7:30 in the morning ( which is now late for me),our neighbor asked if we were missing a horse,so I ran to the barn to check and low and behold Toby had pulled his head out of his halter, jumped,the stall door,jumped our fence,jumped our neighbors barbwire fence,ran through his garden,then jumped another neighbors eletric fence and was ,well trying to have fun with his mare!!
Well we went over to get him and he was not having any of that! We had to go wake the guy up so he could catch his mare so we could in turn catch Toby.That all took ablout an hour.On the way back to the house he stumbled and jerked loose from Fred.So the race was on again.He went back through the garden,but we got him before he got back to the mare,thank you Jesus!! On the way home he pulled and fought so hard it pulled the muscles in my husbands forearm,bicep and chest. Not a good day!
We decided Toby needed a new home for his saftey as well as the childrens.We found a couple (who by the way are now friends!)who was looking for a stud for their 4 mares,again thank you Jesus. They came and picked him up the same day and at last check he was VERY happy with his new harem.
and if I ever find my USB I will get pics up.
