Our two boys are a year apart, and half-brothers, also our first horses. Shortly after they arrived and we installed them on our 'horse proofed' property. My wife and I were awoken by an odd noise on the patio outside our bedroom window. My wife said what was that a deer? I said no, it sounds more like a .... horse. Sure enough the boys were out and about enjoying a midnight snack of our manicured lawn. From the hoof prints they had been out for some time. The older one who is the leader, had slid the bolt on his stall, and the barn door must not have been latched as it's bolt is on the outside. We live on a busy road where cars routinely exceed the 35 mph speed limit. Since then, I have never left the barn with out double checking all the bolts and gates. The older one also figured out that the hinge that serves as a jury-rigged kill switch on top of our log splitter is a fun toy. With the noisy engine chugging away as we split wood, he will saunter up, and nose the hinge over so that the engine dies. I guess it offends his ears.
