We all have our phobias... I just get sooo nervous. I start cleaning house and getting uber prepared. Then I sit down and I think of something else I should do... like put halters on all the horses... What if a tree takes out the fence and I have to catch them? What if a tree is on the barn and I can’t get to the leads? Oooh - the leads better be in the truck. Stuff like that. You think that’s nuts?.
No - that’s not nuts :) Having leads available and halters on makes sense. However, if I were you, I’d put a couple of halters and leads on the back porch or the bed of the truck to always have on hand. Remember though, I’m speaking from the position of having 25-30 halters laying around with at least as many leads. And hay strings, and leashes. There’s always something on hand to catch a loose horse. I have the vet on speed dial :)
