[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 510982, member: 6496"] It's sad that a simple post of statement of fact turned into an arguement about caring for horses. I don't pamper my horses they are turned out all year long to learn to be horses. I don't stall them and only bring them in when we get any type of freezing or wet weather in the winter. Jim62 right now my horses are up in lots around the barn for the winter. Other than wood fence and a hay feeder there isn't anything in their lot for them to get hurt on, but sure enough our stallion did get hurt and so did our gelding. I don't know what it was I wasn't there and haven't found any blood or hair on anything to help me find that "something" they got hurt on. We have a decent investment wrapped up in our horses, all horse people do when you consider tack, feed, and especially your time involved with their care and training. We do our best to keep them safe and injury free, but things happen. Just_a_girl is right we have pastures the same way. Last summer we went out and gathered a couple of mares on a Tuesday to clip them for a show. We let them back out and when I went and got my mare on Thursday she had cuts on two of her fee right above her heel bulbs. I don't know what she cut herself on, my guess is a stray strand of barbed wire, but danged if I can't find it. I'll bet she will again this summer, though.
