The cut is from the 'visiting' that has been going on between the babies and her and Rusty across the dividing fence. Which has prompted us to get put a hot wire up now that will be charging the barb wire. So THAT will keep them off it! Jesses mare got the worst of it, she has a pretty nasty gash on her pastern. It probably should have been stitched :/. I haven't seen it myself though. Rusty got a cut in the same place (from pawing I am pressuming) but not as bad. Although it was in the same place he had a similar cut a few months ago.
Oh! And some really good news! The FIL found a round pen! Its going to be HUGE. Its at least a 72. Its an old one that he got a good deal on. They are sanding it down and repainting it (some was green and some was red, some are 16 ft and some 12 ft, lol) so it will look great when its done. I helped paint a bit of it yesterday. So now we have a safe place for starting the babies! (who are still not big enough to ride -_-)
So not much else to say! I got some neat sunset pics of Daisy though, so I'll post those and a few I have of the other hosses too. Enjoy!
This where we found her, just chillin, didn't bother to move even when the truck pulled up, lol
Love this one... ^
I was trying to take a pic with Daisy and Rusty decided he wanted a close up too ;)
I'm proud of this one! Its too cool, IMO
Happy Daisy...
My absolute fav of the day! I was crouched taking pictures of herand she saw something interesting
Another happy Daisy... And also for your viewing pleasure, the FIL was shooting his gun (for some unknown reason) and I got the babies standing pretty good for it! Skip especially is like, eh, whatever, haha. He shot about 4 times and they all jumped but didn't leave, so they are getting on there way to being gun-proof!
And just a few of Tuff, he's not very camera worthy at the moment, a little gawky looking!
I just wuv his cute little face!!
I don't do many of Skip, so here he is! Looking more 'horse-like'
The huddle, lol, Stormy has bleached out bad!Skip always looks like he as actual socks on, lol
So thats all, ta ta for now!

Ugh, yeah, barbed wire and horses don't mix well. Good idea on the hot wire.
Congrats on the round pen! That's awesome! We use ours for all kinds of things. 72' is huge! That's so much easier on their joints. We have a 60' one that actually used mostly for playing bareback horse tag with 4 or 5 people in it at a time. Heh.
Ooooh... icky cuts! That's not good! Horses find lots of ways to hurt themselves, that's for sure. Look at what Lilly did to her legs last year in the high tesile wire... so even in non-barbed wire fences they find a way to hurt themselves. Hopefully the hotwire will do it's job and keep 'em off the barbed wire. Well wishes that the cut heals up quick! Leg cuts are the worst... let me tell you!
And SUPER YAY on the round pen!! That will be really nice to have for Tuff... I wish we had one at my barn because I'd use it every day. I can't wait to see the pictures of it (hint, hint)!! When you get it, of course! :)
oo, barbed wire can be a pain! We've seen some horses come into the clinics with some nasty problems from barbed wire cuts. The photos are so nice! And look at them not even phased about the gun shots! Soon they will be bomb proof!
