BK :>Well, how'd she get out? She jumping the fences? I'm happy
BK :>Tush has been inclined to jump something only once.. and it
BK :>was a low jump. ;)
Nope.  I had forgotten to close a gate into one of the turnouts.  This 
turnout has fences that aren't all that great.  I turn Shiloh out in it as 
she's not a fence masher (g), but Fid will push or rub until rails come 
down...that's what she did.  Knocked down the two top rails of one section 
and then just hopped over.  The other time she got out, she stepped over a 
chain I have connecting a metal gate to a fence post...there's a space 
between the two that I didn't think she could get through...but she's become 
a real Houdini!  All have been solved.
BK :>Well if it's wasn't for Rich, I'd say marry him! :)
He's young enough to be my son!  And, he's married...to a really, really nice 
young lady who does dressage training.
BK :>You don't irrigate?
Nope.  Usually have enough rain to keep some grass going.  However, this 
turnout is all dirt...too much horse activity going on in it to keep any 
grass.  I'm also keeping her on dirt to keep her from eating any more than 
she needs...I can control her intake this way...with hay.  Remember, I've 
only got about an acre divided into three turnouts!  Doesn't make for good 
grass growing no matter how you look at it (g).
BK :>Are you kidding? We could swap scavenging stories about the
BK :>kids! WOuld you believe that I found a large piece of saran
BK :>wrap in the kid's poop the other day? Boy did I get REAL
BK :>unhappy about that one. I was lucky it made it through all
BK :>the way. She got mashed and phyliium husked for 3 days
BK :>after. 
Yikes!  Fid doesn't tend to eat things that she shouldn't...just too much of 
what she should (g)!
BK :>Well that one doesn't trim her anymore.. and my current
BK :>shoer is far more patient with this kid.. then I've seen
BK :>him with most horses.. I know he really likes her. :)
Sounds like a better combo than the last one, then.
