The fence is all fixed, and yes, Penny.... the horses were in that area. Lucky thing is, they would find the sudden appearance of a tree in a new place to be scary, and they prolly wouldn't go near it for awhile (Never know, that tree might ~move~ again!) I am glad it was on one of the really short sections of fence, and we were able to stretch it back up again, it didn't break.

Marl told me about the time a big storm had gone through. It was suddenly quiet, except for the screaming of a horse in the distance. She ran out, expecting to find the worst.

She finds that a big branch had broken off a tree in the "no horse zone" between fields. There's a 10-foot empty strip between fields, so feuding horses can't reach across the fence and nip at each other. The fallen branch had taken down a chunk of both fences.

She found Aki galloping up and down the gap in the fences, trying to keep the horses in the two fields from "visiting" each other. He was making moves like a cutting horse, keeping the geldings in his field in the field, and even nipping at his favorite mares to chase them back into their field.

Marl said Aki let out a big sigh of relief when she got the fences put back up, and everything sorted out. She already knew that he wouldn't even walk through an open gate unless she at least put a piece of bailing twine over his neck and pretended it was a lead line. But she didn't know that he'd work himself into a frenzy defending his fences.

Glad all the animals were okay, and that it wasn't too difficult to fix. Whew!
