always carry a sledgehammer!

Something I will ALWAYS have in my trailer from now on!
Yearling colt goes down in slant (instead of backing up nicely out), head
UNDER divider in front of other horse. Comes up under divider, knocks
(luckily) it out and somehow manages to get on his feet in front of other
horse! So here are TWO horses squished in one stall with a divider half off!
Luckily I had a sledgehammer to knock the other half of the divider off,
and somehow take the whole thing out with them still inside. There was no
way I could've moved that bent metal without it to free the divider to get
them out!
I am glad for Bo, my sweet ole stallion, he was perfect! Neither horse is
hurt. I sure got lucky this time!
