Dumb Ass

This is Chester our thick as two short planks elderly thoroughbred who today surpassed all previous attempts by critters at Rock HQ to self harm. Those blessed with long memories who have followed our antics for a while may remember his previous fall off a cliff land on barbed wire fence escapade. It was a while before he could walk properly and he still bears the physical if not the mental scars.
Today he decided to partake in a little roll around in the dirt in the lane.
He does this from time to time.
This time he rolled on his back, rolled over to the left, then the right, slid down the bank, landed on a fence, panicked, flailed around losing his two front shoes in the wire and getting his rear hooves tangled resulting in him being trapped until my beautiful and oh so patient wife, alerted to his plight by a passing hiker, managed to cut him free and through the power of prayer got him upright ready for yours truly on return from work to remove the last bits of metal from his feet and bed him down in  a deep litter so the dumb ass could lie down and rest his weary bones.
