RE: [RC] What to do with horses during storms - ColleenSupersat2
I do not know anything about
tornadoes...but would agree that some horses
may hurt themselves if the
noise was so frightening to them.
But my horse was killed (3
years ago) by a lightening strike...She was
standing under a tall tree
in the yard, I was 30 feet away from
her...talking to her between
the sounds of thunder...saying You are alright
Penny you'll be just
fine...moments later the lightening had struck, grabbed
her off the ground, shaking
her violently then tossing her 8 feet from where
she stood. The good thing
was that she was dead the moment she was struck.
Now an electric fence keeps
my other horse away from standing under the
trees. My other horse stood
maybe 8 feet away and was okay.

Hay, don't you all remember the Fury episode when a tornado hit the
ranch? Peter Graves told Joey to let Fury out of the barn because the horse was
smart enough to find the safest place to be...
