Horses ARRRG

Well they sure can do the darndest things!

Went out to do the mid morning feed and what do I see. My grey yearling stuck UNDER the bottom rail on the fence.( 9 inches to the ground) At first glance I thought he was dead. I slowly walked over to where he was and he let out a paniced whicker but still laid calmly. OK now what do I do.... First try to pry the board off, nope not gonna happen (round poles with spikes in them) Run back to the garage grab a saw. Saw dumb pony out, I pull the board off and he still lays there. I figured for SURE something was broken, neck maybe. So I pull him about 5 feet by his back legs, still nothing ( at this point I am sure he is giggling) Panic is setting in trying to remain cool.... I lift up his head and he starts nibbling my jacket. Absolutely nothing wrong with this turkey! not even a scratch.
So the question remains
How did he get under there? His rib cage is way more than 9 inches deep. How on earth did he wedge under
Why did'nt he panic?
Why isnt anything broken!
I need a coffee.....

Judith...

I my opinion, the answer to all of the above, is because he's a yearling!!! It seems if they dont' find trouble, trouble finds them!

Glad he's ok...better the price of a rail than a vet. bill!

My guess is he's a Canadian Layer Downer. I've heard of things like this happening to them before.

If it had been one of the TB there would have been no shocker, but of course it is the first Quarter Horse ever to set foot on the place. At least we know he has a great disposition! And yes my heart is just fine :)
