Great points. However I regularly leave my gates open and come right back. If the horses are eating they have absolutely no interest in going out. It’s also much easier to let them go from one paddock to another without having to do the work myself.

I like the idea of make your own breakaway halter. I have old halters and leather strings I can use.

I posted at my barn on the dry erase board: “Do not cut corners because it takes too much time!” Been there, done that!

Excellent advise. I put my horses in my friends pasture while mine was flooded, and my TB came back with cuts and slices all over his legs from branches that were piled up in the middle of the pasture for a burn. We didn’t expect him to go play in the pile of branches 5 feet tall, but he did and now he’s a mess!

It’s sad when a small bit of carelessness can end up hurting a horse. If I see a strange leaf in the pasture, I throw it in the trash immediately. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and your horses’ health should always come first.

I need to give the part about gates to some certain people around our barn. They think they will shut it later they never do and horses get out. The worst part is we also raise replacement dairy heifers and the feed they eat is extreemly poisonis to horse. I dont want dead ponies. >:0
