Houdini Horse

Isis is an escape artist. Not out of the usual things: fences, gates, halters. She gets out of grazing muzzles and leg wraps. For a week, we soaked her foot and then wrapped it. And of the days it was wrapped, she took it off probably half of the time. It didn’t seem to matter how careful I was about placing the diaper on the bottom of her foot, sealing the velco-type closures, and then duct taping the rest of it securely. The wrap looked secure.

Before, I’d had trouble with her hoof comign through the bandage. Several times I found the entire bandage in the field and her happily grazing away — muzzleless.
