I would prefer my horses are turned out on the road,gate closed behind them so they can run in what ever direction they wish. We can always find the later. A few hundred feet down a road might save their lives.
If in a pasture they are still contained and may not be able to run from the storm. Or the could run back into the barn or through a fence.
We have many plans in place depending on what the emergency is with our horses. Barn Fire,grass fire, forest fire, Electrical Storms, Severe weather, flooding. It is best to set down and write out your plan and besure everyone knows it and what to do if the need arises.
Just my thinking after 60 years of owning horses.

Thank you for this. Recently, I have been thinking rather a lot about the best care for horses during a tornado. (naturally. I’m sure this is on every horse owners mind, after Oklahoma.)

I have always thought it was better for a horse to be outside so natural instincts can help it survive good article and cool pic prayers for those in Oklahoma
