Hap vs. 5,000 Volts

In a word: OUCH!

This incident involved wet ground, an electrified fence & a 1200lb Paint Quarterhorse.

In other words: 1200lb horse + 175lb Hap x 5000 Volts = ?

Juggle that equation in your head for awhile & let me know what you think...

  1. Ouch!

    On a positive note, I bet the experience really energized the rest of your day.

    (Ba dum dum! :) )

  4. Brian: Been a long time! How is life in VA? Yes, you could say it was a *shocking* experience! ha ha

    Pam: Hap may have been knocked back six feet...if not for the fence on one side & big fella on the other!

    Ronny: You never learn, do you? How many times must Scott be taught the error of your ways? Good jokes, though! :-D

  5. Forget the wire running just across the top rail, lean in to pour food into feed bucket on a wet early morning - let fly colorful explatives as voltage hits chest.

    What Patti has done once, and only once....
