Huh. She was raised in North Texas so it must have been handed down to her. It sounds like a child playing hide a seek and a mom looking for her among the trees, doesn't it?
Do you remember ever being sung, this?
Well that's bad but at least she didn't bite you on your butt.
I'll have about 200 feet of panel left over when I get done. Tomorrow I'm loading up 8 16 footers in the back of the truck and hauling them that way to where I need them across the front of Rocky's pasture. Easier then dragging them. On the other side of the far side of the panels we have field wire fence that we put up for the other side of the cattle shoot when we had steers in the arena for Charlie to rope. If it held the cows it will hold the horses. And that line of fence is so grown up with saplings that I dont' think they could get to the fence anyway.

I'm thinking the butt might have been less painful:). Tougher skin,
Becky
Yeah but you sit on it in the saddle.
Oh, and yes the fun does wear off fast moving panels:). We've done it sooooo many times. Everytime I say it's the last. But I just don't want to buy new ones, they would have to be painted to match, and I'm not going to use that arena much, and really I could still use it, the big open space with the lights around it will still be there, it just wont' be fenced at one end.
I may try to take the extras and stet a small pen for visiting horses, or for the kids to bring Jp and the pony here to learn to ride, when he starts riding and not just being lead. That would make about a 50 foot pen which would be plenty big enough for a kid on a pony.
and it was "get away, go away" with arms flopping as she tried to climb through the fence.
I remembersomething like that.
I missed it. I was in my own little world, I guess. You get the trailer?
It would have been "sweet little KK" though:')
I'm sitting here reading these stories to Rebecca and she realizes just how much ~worse~ it could been.
The bruise is barely the size of a dime now, but I do see what appears to be little teeth impressions on either side of it. :-D
Lesson learned for both of us.
Oh horses will bruise ya once in awhile, you can count on that. If you're smart and careful, and you have considerable good luck, when they do it's not too bad and far between.
Speaking of being bit, when I had Juma's mother Haley bred, I had my vet to come out and check her to make sure she was in foal. She was a very hateful, suspicious horse but got to where she trusted me. Anyway, the vet had to sedate her to check her and after he finished, we were walking away from her chatting. Well, I heard it coming but didn't have a chance to run. She nailed me right in my left butt cheek. The vet was walking in front of me and didn't see it happen. I was jumping around and screaming, he was yelling, "what's wrong? What happened?! I screamed, "she bit me! She $#$%!ing bit me!" He's calmly saying, "Ok, where? Let me see it." Uh, no way.
I did have a huge teeth mark bruise for days afterwards.
LOL. What did you do with her?
I sold her back to the previous owner. He wanted Juma, too, but I said no. I'm thinking of buying her back and breeding her again to the same stud as Juma's daddy. The original owner may be sick of jacking with her.
Gee. Thanks for that comforting thought. :-/
