AlpineK Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 If you own a horse be very very careful where you let it wander without supervision. [img:center]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01012/horse460a_1012172c.jpg[/img] The young filly needed to be freed from the tree after curiosity got the better of it and it wedged its head between separate sections of the trunk. The horse, called Gracie, was unable to free itself and could have been in danger were it not for a passer-by who was able to come to the rescue after he heard the horse whinnying . Story Quote
rmncwrtr Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Poor Gracie. Ouch. I'm thinking the sound of a chainsaw alone would have freaked her out, let alone having it so close to her neck. Quote
minx Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 the good news is she probably couldn't move much! yoinks! horses arene't the brightest creatures. Quote
AlpineK Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 True, but afterwards she was a lot happier. Quote
minx Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 geez i thought it was photoshopped at first Quote
G-spotter Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Good thing she didn't get stuck like that in Enumclaw. Quote
akhalteke Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 That is going to be a dangerous extraction. Hope they sedate her first. We freed a horse in the sandbox and that fucker came right at us as soon as he realized his newfound freedom. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 That is going to be a dangerous extraction. Hope they sedate her first. Come on, Scott, you're not THAT big. Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Dude, you're in the military. Why look beyond your unit to get your unit into some other guy's mouth? Lock and load. Quote
prole Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 If an enemy were really coming hard, would you try to take him from the front or the rear? Quote

I don't know about sedating the horse. Careful work with the saw no doubt. Quote

Actually It would be advanced torture on the tree in favor of the horse. The tree is still alive just more fucked up. The large cavity indicates that the tree was approaching collapse without the horse problem. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Ya, Look what happened to the last guy to get a horse stuck in his large cavity Quote

AlpineK Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 The horse walked away, so they didn't cut the horse (too much). Quote
G-spotter Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I heard a story while I was working up in Terrace about a logger cutting into a big old growth hemlock that was rotten in the middle. Turned out there was a black bear hibernating inside the cavity and when homeboy cut through the tree trunk and into the bear, he woke it up. Quote
AlpineK Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 I've seen a couple of presentations by folks who study bears hibernating habits. A large tree with decay in the center is a popular spot to hang out in during the winter. Western hemlocks by their nature often provide spots like that. One of the best photos was looking down a large tree cavity. In the winter this guy climbed up the tree to the cavity top, crawled down a bit and took a picture of a groggy looking bear at the bottom. Quote
