So, my three year old mare is becoming more and more difficult to keep contained,. She used to have free access to a 24x24 corral from a small (maybe 1/4 acre) turnout, fenced with hot wire. For about a year she did great there however lately she’s taken to escaping.
She bused through the hotwire and got loose (but still within the perimeter of my property) a couple times so I decided to confine her to her stall when I’m not home and turn her out when I can keep an eye on her. Trouble is that three times she has managed to break out of her stall. First twice we have no idea how she got out. Stall was still locked but mare was loose! This last time she tore the door clean off her stall (broke two chains and bent the door).
Does anyone else have a horse that likes to bust out and, if so, how do you deal with it.
Thanks!
