Happy Holidays
My problem just started this week and I need help. I have had my colts at home now over a year. They are 19 months old. They never gave me any problems before. At 5PM every night I call them in and put them up with their night grain and hay. They have soft woodchip and straw bedding on mats and super clean stalls. When I call they just seem to stare out at the east side of the fence line that is close to the road. I have five acres and the colts pasture is in the middle and we have about 50' of woods all around the edges. It gets as late as 9 or 10 PM sometimes before they even think about coming in. I never had them late for dinner before. One time I could see but so far it has happened all week and I am starting to worry.
What could be the reason? Anyone have ideas on how to correct this. It is a bigger problem for me as you all know I am in a wheelchair. It is to dangerous to leave them out at night as we have pit bull dogs in the area and I could not sleep at night if they were out after hearing what has happened to other members minis with dog attacks. PLEASE HELP.
