Alabama Horse Story
We own several acres of nice pasture land and for years have let our neighbor use the propery for his horses. We love them and enjoy feeding them treats, admiring their foals, and taking tons of pictures of them. One time there was a young gelding in the group who was a bit shy, so my husband decided to tempt him to come closer by offering some fresh carrots.
It took a little time and much coaxing, but finally the horse cautiously got close enough so he could reach the carrots. My husband leaned over the electric fence, carrots in hand, and stretched toward the horse. The horse leaned down, touch his nose to the carrots, and...
The sun had gone down so it was almost dark enough for me to see the sparks fly when the pressure of the horse's nose pushed my husband's arm downward and against the electric wire. The horse screamed, carrots went flying, and I nearly fell on the ground laughing. I don't know who was more startled, the horse or my husband.
That poor horse! I've always wondered what he thought happened. All he knew was that when he touched carrots, he got the jolt of his life. I'm not lying when I say sparks flew--they literally popped off his nose and my husband's hand. I bet that horse never ate carrots again.
