After Spring foaled with Chica, she was pissy with the my daughter's horses on the other side of the fence. She and Miley got into it over the fence and Spring swung around and kicked the fence so high that she ended up with her butt in the air and both hind legs stuck. Fortunately, we were standing there when it happened, and I keep fence tools, including wire cutters right in the stable so we know where they are in an emergency. Spring did not move once she was hung up and stayed perfectly calm, and walked away quietly when released, despite being in a tantrum when it happened. Talk about your attitude adjustment. We then ran some electrified rope about three feet from the regular fence on the side the other horses were on so they could not get close to the fence between them.
They do have common sense.
