Posted - 04 Mar 2010 : 10:16:58 AM I know of a mare on a yard I know that had its cheek cut upwards from where the mouth joins (like a cheese wire) cos the electric wire along the posts hadn't been switched on for ages and they didn't realise it was there. Think the mare tried nibbling and got the wire in; vet stitched it and a fairly tidy scar remained but not nice thought at all!!
