Wrecks! It's funny, I was just thinking about this yesterday morning... kind of like a drawing or cartoon (which it would look like if I ever tried to draw anything!) of a potential wreck or dangerous situation and then asking folks what they could see "wrong" with the picture. The reason I was thinking this was because I had used a big plastic sled to haul a bale of hay into the corral where or two weanling fillies live.
Of course they were very impressed with the new SCARY thing, but being good Spanish Mustang's the next thing they wanted to do was investigate what in the heck it was. Since I also throw hay across the fence to their parents it would have been easy for me to forget and just leave the sled (with its long plastic rope) lying on the ground while I heaved the hay over.
I thought about a panicked foal with a loud plastic sled attached to her leg, I envisioned all sorts of vet bills and picked the sled's rope up and pulled to towards me, letting the fillies sniff it and bite on it, but making sure no one got tangled in it. It is easy to forget how quickly a horse can get into trouble when you don't think something through.
