I don't understand what the fence is made of - is it the normal metal pipe type panels? Or are these metal rails used with posts set into the ground. I can't imagine how a horse would get under any pipe panels that I've seen, since the rails are about a foot off the ground. This situation sounds very dangerous. Also, always be warned of using PVC pipe for any kind of structure for horses too - they can easily break, and when they do, they leave jagged edges. Is he alone? I don't understand the part about: " Then we tried inflatable animals - that was good for a night til he figured they meant him no harm. The same with balloons which he delighted in shredding." Where those supposed to be "friends" or threats...? Karen Thomas, NC
