Re: [RC] Horse living up to its name - Lani M Olson
For a horse like this, I don't think the name matters. Raised half a dozen
babies here with barbed wire and only one got into it, but he did several times
and is the only one I ever had to stitch up because of going through the fence.
The old ranchers told me "some horses are just born to be in the wire". I sold
him to a home in Washington where he has NO barbed wire.

He has new wounds from his eyelids to

I've never had another horse touch = the barb wire (we didn't put it up, its

superficial wounds. But I = think I'll keep him in at night for a
