My 2yo gelding can unlock his stall door, untie himself, undo the gates if not latched 100% right, pulls halters off of fences/hangers, has even undone the buckles on his halter when it was attached to the outside of his stall. When he wants attention he finds the loudest thing he can and bangs it around until he gets what he wants. I'm terrified of what he's going to learn to hammerhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144749417680923288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-67172142708999235102012-12-04T05:55:06.666-05:002012-12-04T05:55:06.666-05:00Holy moly!

While it is interesting to see the horse thinking, I would still string some hot wire across the gate area for awhile so the horse learns to stay off it. I'd prefer they use their brains for other things!RuckusButthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760056031442317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-34319701379857898742012-12-03T20:29:00.013-05:002012-12-03T20:29:00.013-05:00My horse is like this.

And that's why my barn has a strand of electric in front of all the gates--so the horses can't abuse such a fun object. ;)Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308477892024999793noreply@blogger.com
