My story is sad but true. I have the x-rays and vet bill to prove it. I was just cooling my horse down by walking him around after exercising him. While I was sitting on his back I noticed the cows from next door were next to the fence. I thought to my self, what an excellent way to desensitize him to the cows. I walked him right up to the fence and noticed that it was electric at the top. As he was stretching his nose to greet the cow on the other side I wondered if the fence was on. Sure enough he touched with his face, flipped over backwards on me and ran through a fence on the property. I don't play with electric fences anymore. Despite thinking that I was dead for a few moments, a broken wrist, and a large vet bill for the gapping whole in my poor horses shoulder I have learned to be more cautious these days. I was a teen at the time....lesson learned!Robin said:I just spit out the soda pop I was drinking on that one..good one

oh my god poor boyColliegal said:Personally, I don't have one, but I remember my neighbor tellin' me once . . .
She used to board at Larry's off Friendship School Road before he moved to Va. Anyway, she has two daughters who loved their horses and wanted all their friends to get into horses so they could mix the two worlds. One day a 12-year-old boy came with them to the barn. Of course he got bored, as kids will, and went to sit down on an old, rusty metal bucket to watch the cows. Being hot and tired, he didn't even bother to stand when he decided to take a wizz. You can imagine - sitting on a metal bucket, urine streaming onto a cow-strength electric fence. Poor boy. I bet he never forgot that lesson!
Perhaps if you would come out on a trail ride you wouldn't be razzed so much. some of the stories you tell are way out there and have stuff that the young horse peeps dont need to read (x-rated) so parents are gonna try and put you back into place. They do come on the board also to read about horse stuff and see pictures posted of trail rides and horse shows. Just tone it down and join a trail ride, it you truely don't have a horse Some have offered to share a spare. Please be a little more discreet in your wording please.HorseRiding God said:This is why I don't come out on the rides! You horse people need to get a sense of humor
