He was none too pleased, but it was one helluva electric storm, and he's in a round pen with metal fencing. I didn't want to chance it. He was dancing at the stall door this morning and got off a ton of bucks and airs above the ground when I let him back out. Silly gelding! I'm curious, though, about how to prevent lightening strikes in the pasture. Do people have ideas? Is there a book I can read?
None that I know of. It is always a balancing act for us - when there are threats of tornados - like last night - I hesitate to put them in their stalls because of the proximity of flying metal/debris and no way out. I feel they are better in the open where they can and do seek the lowest ground, and can run from the danger. When it's just a lightning storm - in the barn they go, but even that's no guarantee. I do spend a LOT of time in serious prayer during weather like that.
