Over the rail we go
Well I know Arani can jump!!!! It was extremely windy today- gust were blowing across the flats at a great rate of speed....Arani, Oscar and Louka were all in the paddock in front of the barn when the wind picked up the very large green ball and swept it along the driveway and towards the 3 of them...Quite interesting really.. Louka and Oscar took off back to the yards and stall but Arani flew across the paddock and over the rail- clipping and knocking it off as he went....Thankfully he didn't hurt himself....BUT HE CAN JUMP!!!!...I put a bit of tape acroos the missing board (unitl Dennis could fix it) and then brought him back to the others again....He looks amazing at the moment....and he wasn't a problem to bring back in- so that was good.....It's funny how they don't dwell on things like us humans- he just went back into the paddock to join his mates without looking back- the problem was over and that was that.

Wow glad he was ok! Reminds me of when Shiraz jumped out over the full wire fence during a thunderstorm when she was 9 months old...
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Merlot to start with - Shiraz was way smaller than the fence!

Yes it gives the old ticker a bit of a jolt..We forget that they almost become super horse when they are in the flight mode...He looked very surprised himself....But he was perfectly ok straight away- they just don't hold onto that fright/flight...it's instant recovery and we will eat grass. So amazing
