Just wanted to say hi and complement this forum. I've only seen pleasant topics, not too much pot stirring. I like to keep my horses out as much as possible, and with my schedule, sometimes it is my only option. They have plenty of shed to get under, round bales, and they are separated so I can feed separately. My only problem is I'm having trouble keeping them from tearing their blankets. I've tried putting cheaper nylon sheets over the blankets, but they still snag them on the barbed wire and tear through the sheets. I hate I have barbed wire, but it's not really feasible for me to tear all the fence down and put up barbless; I'll be moving in about a year anyway. Since they are separated, they all just sit by the fence all day staring at each other and ultimately snagging their blankets. I even tried putting two of them together hoping they would quit hanging out by the fence, and still didn't have any luck. Just wondering if anyone had any bright ideas to help me out. Would the canvas sheets be tougher and maybe not let the barb go all the way through to the blanket? I'm about to the point that I think I'm just gonna have to keep sewing them up till winters over! Anyone going to Ewell saturday?
