Any misinformation on this thread is due to you.
Let’s be real. You weren’t present when the incident occurred, so you really don’t know what happened. You don’t know what caused the horse to touch the hot wire. You “ASSume” it was the young woman’s lack of experience and competence that somehow caused your horse to touch the hot wire, but you really cannot prove that because you were not there. The reason there are gaps in information is because either you don’t HAVE that information (because you weren’t there), or you have omitted that information and refuse to divulge it for whatever reason. None of that is the fault of the people on this thread.
Here is what you HAVE told us:
- The horse’s feed pan was recently relocated closer to the electric fence.
- The horse’s feed pan is close enough to the electric fence that he can touch it by raising his head.
- The young woman who was blanketing the horse doesn’t have extensive horse experience.
- The horse has reacted and run off (and fallen to his knees) when blanketed in the past (once)
- The BOs have referred to your horse as being easy to blanket in the past.
- More recently, the BOs have referred to your horse as “somewhat unpredictable.”
- The young woman was not hurt during the incident.
Here’s what you HAVEN’T told us:
- What you ASSume (throwing your snark back at you) the young woman did to cause the incident
- Whether or not the young woman was successful in finally getting the horse blanketed

The crap is coming from both ‘sides’. Doesn’t anybody have anything better to do?

Your responses are worthless, because you don’t answer any questions straight out. We are quite happy in this thread without you.
If you are going to respond, just answer the questions.
We are not interested in your insults or complaints about people who post.
I will go with the horse did get a blanket on, because this is a total molehill that has been made into a mountain.
Maybe someone should do a poll.

My responses are worthless even thoug I started this thread?? Interesting news.
Posts like yours are why I leave this thread to the people who can’t honesty address a post without constantly misinterpreting it to make their irrelevant personal additions seem relevant.
Do whatever you want here, It’ll be divorced from the original situation. Start your own post with a poll. Start your own post and poll that has nothing to do with this situation, since you can’t seem to grasp this situation.
Go do what you want to do. Don’t involve me. Take your odd “advice” elsewear.
Your summary is quite biased.
This is the problem with COTH these days, which was not so much of a problem in the past.
Your snark response is just ill-informed. You seem OK that the young woman caused a problem with my horse. Your ultimate goal is that the horse was blanketed, without issue to the horse as to how it was blanketed. Or the young woman’s health.
I’m soo happy we will always seem to disagree on this point. Yea, I’ll always throw my snark back at such odd posts. We have totally different value systems.
PM me, anyone, who wants a real discussion.
You’ve left…?

Snarky posts characterize this thread. Thanks for providing an example. And your inability to read posts. Smarter posts haven’t been a hallmark here.
It’s weird how you think that two words asking a very simple question are snarky when you come and vomit vitriol every night, like clockwork.

Not weird, that’s coming from you.
Oh sorry, I check this email account at night. Thanks for noticing. I don’t check it at work which you seem to think I should. We seem to have quite different jobs.
Care to explain your problem with this?
If my summary is “biased”, then it’s because YOU refuse to clear up anything I’m “ill-informed” about.
This thread is started by someone (you) who is “ill-informed” about the entire situation because YOU WERE NOT THERE. You are literally just making an ASSUMPTION about what you THINK happened. You’re BIASED about that because you’d rather blame this young woman than your horse. You’ve PURPOSELY LEFT OUT details of the incident in an effort to create a narrative that suits your needs (complaining about “unqualified peeps” blanketing your horse). If it doesn’t fit that narrative, it gets left out. Then, when people try to put the pieces together to get a clearer picture of what may have actually happened (since NONE of us, INCLUDING YOU were there), you start accusing US of all sorts of twisting of this story. We can’t twist a story that you started and refuse to be forthcoming about. We’re asking YOU to help us fill in the blanks and you either CAN’T or WON’T as it seems you’d rather come here and argue for the sake of arguing at this point.
It sounds like the young woman got the horse blanketed and there was no harm done. Accidents happen. The horse touched the hot wire, for whatever reason. It doesn’t really matter WHY he touched it at this point. He did. The young woman, the horse, and the blanket all survived. In the grand scheme of things involving horses, this is pretty small. Horses do unpredictable things every day. Even the best-trained horses can accidentally touch a hot wire. I’ve seen it many, many times. There doesn’t have to be a “reason” other than…it was an accident. Heck, I’VE accidentally touched hot wire on many occasions. Many people have. It happens. What happened to this “unqualified” young woman could have happened to ANYONE with ANY horse. There is no need to try to lay blame.

A 23 year old seasioned, semi retired childrens show horse stepped on my toe and crushed it. Took MONTHS for the fracture to heal. I’ve only been riding and training AND blanketing for 60 years

Ouch, then you will have to be demoted from Blanketing Master to Blanketing Expert. Another 60 years and they might give you your certification for Blanketing Expert again.

Quoted from J LU “A young horse can step on the handler, mature horses don’t. They understand the relationship.”
The horse that stepped on my toe was " mature" therefore my demoted blanketing status (

The worst horse we had for stepping on feet was an older horse who raced until he was 11. He was the biggest hazard when you were leading him somewhere. His left front foot would just randomly seem to shoot out like he was aiming for your foot, I swear it was a game for him. He must have enjoyed the noise his slaves made when he mashed their foot, especially in the winter on his way back from the race paddock on the ice, when he was wearing caulks and we were struggling to stay upright on the ice.

Right!!! So much for mature horses understanding the relationship… They know too well. This guy was being ignorant because I had him in to poultice him. He grabbed his foot away and slammed the toe down on my foot. Back shoe so it was a pointy toe.
