Harden Up Plan

Have gates that open uphill. My gate swung downhill into the back paddock, and Coco the horse had rescued himself and was waiting at the gate with floodwater lapping at his hooves. When I tried opening the gate, he needed to move back to make room. However, he was too afraid to step into the water and, instead, panicked and trampled through, destroying the gate and putting himself at risk.
