Barbed Wire is for Tattoos & Prison Yards

Or prison yard tattoos.  But why would you use barbed wire to fence in your horses?!  Ask any vet or the SPCA how many injuries a year happen because a horse gets his hocks or knees caught on them and you wouldn't do it.  If the horse panics, they literally rip themselves to shreds.  The injuries are horrific.  Treating the injuries are not only time consuming, painful & gut wrenching,  there is no guarantee the horse will recover.  I hope if someone takes on the responsibility of boarding and owning, they are also considering expenses.  You know, being mindful they have the money to get a real effin fence, properly built stalls and will be diligent in the care of these beautiful animals.  Just 'cause you have the money for the horse itself, doesn't mean you can afford to care for it.  I wish people would be responsible owners like they have a lick of sense.  And compassion.

The way I feel about barbed wire fences is much like Joan Crawford feels about wire hangers.
