Re: [RC] Securing Horses... - April Allison"And I've seen horses get cast in stalls and corrals at their homes that needed human assistance to get up" Its amazing what you can do when you need to. We have a large pony. 750bls. A few years ago he lay down to close to a fence and stuck his foot threw square wire. As he started kicking, 3 of us there ran for him. My daughter, then 10yrs old) ran for the side of the fence oposite him and grabbed his hoof, getting it out of the fence. Myself and an older lady (who was in poor enough physical condition that she couldn't saddle her horse anymore by herself) ran for the pony. One of us grabbed his head under the jaw and mane just behind hind the bridle path. The other one grabbed two handfuls of mane. We drug that pony, flat on his side, clear of the fence. I still don't know how. He got up and ran to the middle of the pasture and has never lain so close to a fence again. We stood around and looked at each other and wondered how we did it.
