Magic was much better this morning. Still limping but able to put weight on the foot and get around. Bute may have eased the pain or maybe it is better. I do not feed in the morning and I only have 4 bute tablets left, so I did not give more bute this morning.
I have been keeping Glory and the other horses in a pasture where they are not next to Magic and Little More. Today I worked on the electric fence on the shared fence side of Magic’s pasture but it is still not hot. Anyway I needed to clean up a brush pile ash pile in Glory’s pasture and I put them in the pasture next to Magic. They were there about 2 hours. Glory is a trouble maker mare today and kept running over to Magic’s fence. One time, while I was looking, of all coincidences, Magic kicks at Glory and gets hung in the fence. It obviously is not hot at all and luckily it is a web wire fence with a smooth hot wire at the top. I was far enough away that I could not tell exactly what happened and, anxious as I am, I quit work and went over to see what happened. No posts were involved. Magic scraped a little hair off and there was a little blood. He pulled the off rear shoe. He was hurt but I do not think seriously. I like electric fences because this does not happen when the fence is hot. They just stay away from it. I will get a new charger Monday. I think that is the problem.
