We have mare named "Ellie Mae", year before last we had to close up a small corner of the property completely closed in with no gates until we could take down one side so we could get a backhoe in that area. We came in from work one day and found Ellie Mae with no water and over in that area?????
Last year when we came home from work we found Ellie Mae once again in an area she wasn't put in. She was pregnant so we had her in with the broodmares when we left her that morning for work, that afternoon she was in witht the show horses in the drylot????? We have always accused the termite guy that does the yearly contract on our house of looking and snooping where he shouldn't of and accidently letting her in the wrong pen.
Ok, today I came home from work to check on Ellie since she is getting close, and she was in the drylot with the show horses once again. I was all upset with my husband since he is the one who turned her out this morning. "Why in the world did you put Ellie in with the show horses?" I am griping at him. But he said he put her out with the broodmares once again?????
I solved todays mystery I think. I walked the whole area and came across a cattle panel that the staples had popped out over time I guess except for one on the top. So if she were to back up and rub her bottom (which she really likes to do now that she is getting closer to foaling) she would just push the panel up and out and presto chango houdini is on the other side!
They do keep me on my toes! Maybe I have accused the termite guy wrongly?
