FIRST, A circuit went dead in the barn. It's the one the fence was plugged into. I thought maybe with all the rain, the fence had shorted out, but the breaker at the panel wasn't tripped off. But for no apparent reason, all the wires and outlets on one side of the barn are dead.
We plugged the fence charger into another outlet with an extension cord and it works fine.... not fried or anything.
SECONDLY, the horses are acting really weird in the lean to. Cyn BOLTED out of her stall this morning and was afraid to go out the end opening she usually uses... (there are three openings, each end, and a middle. She turned around a couple times like she was trapped before bolting out the center. All three horses are acting snorty and weird about that opening, I can grab mane (we didn't put halters on them or anything) and lead the pony and Bay through them, but they hesitate and then bolt through and run off. Cyn didn't want to even get that close, I grabbed her mane and tried to lead her through, but she pulled away and bolted out the middle opening. Every time they run out and then come back, the same thing would happen again.
Here you can see Cyn's stall opening at the far end, the trouble-spot-end and middle lean-to openings.
The power supply to the fence comes out right there, but it doesn't look damaged, and though we are contemplating these two events (the dead electrical and the odd behavior) being related, there's no logical explanation for them being related! WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE THIS MORNING?
