A Disaster On The DaybyDay Farm! Day 214 (08/03/20) 

future note: you shouldn't have fed them as they would colic just like water. You should've walked them around to cool them down

You need to be veryyyyy careful feeding your horses when they are so worked up and Tummy’s haven’t settled it gives them a high chance of getting collic because their tummy’s haven’t settled and you are giving them feed ❤️

Giving a horse grain when they’re worked up can cause collic 99% of the time. Even if they’ve had grass before.

Get a fly sheet to protect his cuts and to avoid him getting anymore from storm☺️

You not only have to worry about Colic, with them still heaving after a run, but you also have to worry about Choke as well because you've restricted their water. Keep this in mind please if it happens again. Your friend Jenn. PS Having worked at multiple racetracks, for both flat and Standardbreds horses, after a race, when they are breathing heavy, we allow 5 sips of water,and remove all water from their stall. We then, every 15 minutes allow them another 5 sips of water. Between first and second offering of water, we are, hosing them off, scraping them off. Then another second sip is offered, then we do legs,and then they are walked, with water offered every 15 mins., we then stall them with hay only for 1 hour. Still offering water every 15 mins. After that, we grain them, put water with electrolytes in their stall, usually 2 buckets, stay another hour to monitor for signs of any issues like Colic or Choke, and after that hour of monitoring and nothing is going on, we go home. And before anyone jumps down my neck about racing, EVERY owner I worked for, never raced a horse before its natural 3rd birthday, and at that point they had been worked lightly as a 2yr old when they had been backed for the first time.

They can drink water they just CAN NOT EAT straight after work. Especially after seeing Finn breathing like that you should wait 15 minutes after work and you should not fed them until at least half an hour later. I would of turned them out in your school to calm down

Bruh gabby needs to do some research, I’m shocked their horses didn’t colic. Giving your horses food right after they got ALOT of exercise will definitely make them colic just as not making sure they don’t have water after exercising. Giving them water after exercising is VERY good for them so they don’t dehydrate, and also you should’ve hosed them down to help cool them off... and also in one of gabby’s videos of riding with a GoPro she said that horses know what is poisonous to them and what isn’t, which is also VERY false. Why do you think horses die from eating things their not supposed to? Because they don’t know what’s poisonous to them!! Which doesn’t take a genius to figure out. PLEASE for the sake of your horses do your research, sometimes being a know it all from what you think isn’t always a good choice... (btw this wasn’t ment to be hate if it seemed like it...)

I must add gabby is very wrong u don't give them feed when there huffing and stressed u give them a drink and wash down NEVER FEED good chance of colic not being nasty

No hate, but rather than make excuses for feeding them, just learn that it wasnt the right thing to do, there was no great desperate need to feed them, so I dont understand why you did. Also I think you allow Gabby to make the decisions to do things that should be done by a responsible adult. It was wrong to feed grain when they were still not cooled off and back to normal, they should have been allowed to cool done, with access to some water

Make sure no grass or anything that’s not plastic is not touching the electric fence as it will make the fence lose power

Several things 1- if your horses were still huffing and puffing, they should be walked until they’re breathing is normal and they are cool to the touch, especially after such heavy exercise 2- water should be offered to your horses, even if they are very hot still, they just should not drink a ton of it, water helps to cool off the horses and they can get choke and impaction’s from dehydration, especially when they are that sweaty and hot 3- I will NOT be shocked if one of your next videos is how one of your horses had colic... They should never get grain right after exercise, even if they just had grass... eating food right after a lot of exercise will make them colic… You are an adult, you should be responsible enough to know that when you own horses, sometimes you need to take things into your own hands instead of letting your child make all these life or death decisions with your animals Also take responsibility for your mistakes, don’t make excuses because nobody is fooled

Kudos to the kind person who reacted quickly and tried to block the horses with their car. Horses are amazing, BUT that flight reflex they have is a little crazy sometimes.🤦‍♀️ Full moon+ crazy weather+ hangry storm= Stampede!! I gotta say though I am impressed that they stayed on the shoulder of the road and didn’t run into the street. Gabby is definitely a very fast reactor, a quick thinker and doesn’t panic. She has the makings for an amazing Medical Professional/ Vet. I’m so happy that the boys are home and safe.💕

This is why some people used heavy-duty fences to keep the horses in

I would suggest in your next farm to get a wooden,hard plastic fence, or electric/wooden and definitely get finny a full body fly sheet to protect to those cuts or bandage them up🩹I’m so thankful that they stayed off the road, and I would also suggest for buying a new farm before you buy your dream horse👍🏼and I would also suggest to put storm in his own field while the other 2 are in a different one so they can’t get riled up

If you ever want to, I think you could get wooden fences and a gate instead of electric? But whatever works better for you!

Don't give a hot horse grain!!! You need to bd very careful, withholding water and feeding grain to a hot horse is a sure way to colic or choke. Please be careful! Your fur babies will thank you!!

Put Storm on his own and Finn and chino together

So scary! Chased many horses in my day for sure. We had a fence around the entire perimeter of our property. Gates on front and back driveway. Less stress if they did get out they couldn't get onto road . We did wood posts horse fencing with hotwire along inside top of fence. They avoided the fence and it looked really nice I do get not putting fencing onto your existing farm too expensive for sure but just remembered how stressful it was until we got that permanent fencing. I'm sorry you had a scare. Just another step in your horse journey..Lol. it's never-ending. You all seemed to handle it well. Have a safe uneventful wonderful day..lol

I don’t get how people could press the dislike button, they are trying to do their best on keeping their horses safe and they doing there best they can but I love you daybyday💕💕

Why is the new fence so low again?. Make it higher.

I hope Finn gets better maybe you should have your horses wear leg protection so if they ever get out again they won’t slice their leg open. Also you should get a fly sheet for Finn.

Your not ment to feed them after they have worked a lot of sweat.

glad all the horses are okay at my barn when they first bought a 12 hh pony named Hercules he jumped out of a 4.6 foot high fence and ran back to his old owners 2 miles away and did it twice and last year Hercules won most riders introduced to eventing safely🦄🦄🐴❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

“Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” 😆HORSE LIFE Glad all worked out💕

Good job with the fencing! One thing though - the long grass around the perimeter might make the fence not as effective as it could be. If there's anything touching the wire/rope of the fencing (long grass, leaves, branches etc) that would be lessening the electricity that passes through the wire/rope.

That must have been so scary, hope Chino, Finny and Storm are okay. Thank goodness they didn't get seriously hurt. I am so glad that the person was there to help and stop the horses from going anywhere bad. I know you all love Chino, Storm, Finny, WIllow and Gracie equally. They are all totally special horses and ponies :) and are clearly well loved by you all.

Get proper fences instead of electric fence you could do a proper fence the electric fence in the field around the fence

Get s gate to your property so if they ever get out again there trapped on your property

Omg so terrifying. If storms legs swell in a stable get him some pole wraps so it prevents that

Moving out of that house doesn't seem like such a big deal but when you think about it, that house has meaning... that's where so many miracles have happened, so many amazing lessons, new paths in their journey have occurred, new doors opened, incredible birthdays, thats where they got their first triple yolk egg, thats where they said goodbye to Stella and cookie, and where they said hello to Molly and the kittens, thats the house they got finny and chino at, they rescued animals there... it isn't just a house, it's a home🥺

My boys gates got left unlocked and my two had a great time exploring the property! Lucky for us there are cattle grids and solid fences around the outside of the property!!

Laure, your spiritial health is so on point! I love the life lessons the girls are learning from you. I am sure some of your followers know nothing of God and how He works in each of our lives, but the faith and trust that YOU share, is a power of example to all!

I’m glad that the horses were not badly injured.

Love y’all, it’s only getting worse here in Australia, victoria but I’m staying positive, glad everyone is ok, poor ponies, I can’t wait to see you Gypsy, I hope you go with Jack🙏🤞🏼

Omg poor Finny, that was scary even from me! And I have a dentist appointment yet! I am so scared for that! I might have to an ingetion, we have no idea of what is going to happen but I need to get a dead tooth removed!! Anyway I hope the horses get better! Love you guys!!❤❤❤

We should be more like horses, they are still friends even after Storm bites them.

This comment is a little bit off topic but I just wanted to thanks the daybyday family for inspiring me to reach for my dreams. After my accident I lost a lot of confidence in my riding but after watching your videos and finding your channel I have built up the confidence to keep riding. Keep being the beautiful people you are and stay safe❤❤

Oh my gosh I feel so bad for Finn :( Hope he heals up soon!

I love how Gabby wasn’t even phased by the horses getting out and just chased them

I don’t comment on here but if you don’t want to fix the fences please put gates at your entrance/driveway.

The exact same thing happened to my horse a few days ago! Luckily three cars stopped to block the way. So glad that your horses are ok in the end too 🐎 hope Finns cut heals soon

Gabby is correct to not let them have water after running like that but Laura is right that they shouldn't eat either. Let them calm down and cool off before food or water. I'm happy that they didn't get hit or seriously injured.

First and my Thiri is that as soon as they broke out even though storm might know where he is his first instinct is to protect the boys so he was probably trying to push them to get them to a safe because that was his first instinct when they broke free and for fins cuts you guys should put iodine with sugar on a cloth and wrap it up with vet rap and that’ll prevent infection and soreness and when you put it on the horse it doesn’t burn the cut

Living by a busy road is terrible, at least you guys got the horses back home safely. Its a good thing that Sam fenced off the whole yard so that if storm, Finn and chino escaped again they would have a fence to protect them.

Never a dull moment with horses 😂

9:36 😢😢 that was so beautiful Laura, i felt that😪💔

Can you put a solid post and rail fence at the boundary of your land with a strip of electric on the top? Then you can still move and change your fields with the tape but they can’t get onto the road? Or do you already have that 😊 edit: just watched and saw you explain why you haven’t put post a rail in 😄

That was horrifying!! I'm grateful things didn't go worse. And, thankful for Gabby, Sam & Kailey. It pays to be fit an healthy humans especially when you own animals. Poor Finn!

I hope all the horses are okay x at least they didn't get extremely hurt, you guys handled it really well. I probably would have just froze and wouldn't know what to do 😂❤️

Lol, I happened to open RU-vid when the video came out 😂😂 I didn't get a notification for it 🤣

My retired horse lives in a friend's backyard with her horses. One morning at 6 am, I got a call that she was missing. She ducked under the electric fence at some point during the night. They found her 3 miles away. They live in a rural area, so initially I wasn't really concerned until I saw where she went and how many busy roads with semi trucks she crossed over night. She was fine, and so happy to see people she knew when they found her.

Thank god for your horses been so lucky. At my farm, we have barb wire fences to keep the horses and animals in. With my horse, he can't be in an electric fenced paddock because he will get out by crawling under it if it is electrified. I would recommend putting your horses in the barn when it is raining if they are crazy in the rain.

Oh gosh. My heart started racing! So glad that are all safe! Holy heck! It makes me really nervous seals going to be alone and he has speration anxiety and we are on a highway! Ahhhh

OH NO!!! that would have VERY scary, glad everyone got back with no major damage ❤❤

So glad the horses are ok!, besides some cuts and a lost shoe.

A Betadine scrub or solution soaked on some 4 x 4 gauze pads works really well for cleaning and disinfecting wounds or lacerations like those ones and you can just leave a bit of the Betadine on there for antiseptic and keeping the bacteria away. If you use a sterile saline solution, it burns way less than just using water. That’s why Horses react a little bit more Ouchy when you wash or rinse a wound with just water. Kind of like when you cut your leg in the shower shaving and when you run it under the water burns like heck. The Betadine is also a really good treatment for rain rot.

Laura you were right, shouldn't have fed them to be safe but all good they are all OK ❤️ I reckon they must have gotten spooked and freaked out, it's not normal for them to panic bolt like that for no reason. So glad they are all pretty much fine, poor finny getting caught in the fence 😔

Huge fan!!!! 🐴☺️sorry to hear about chino I hope he gets better soon . But also I know you guys like the electric fences and it is cheaper , however your property that is outlined with this electric fence is not going to keep your horses in .. it’s just a matter of time before they figure out how to get through those two strips of electric held up by those little metal posts . You should look into getting wooden fences put in maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️

U should put the ponies in one of the boys field so they how more room to run around

OMG! That is so crazy literally I’m not even kidding one of one of my horses at the track got out but thank goodness someone saw him and helped.😅😧😱

You need to cool the horses down and let them walk around after they ran around just the same way as if you were finishing up with a ride. giving them grain when they are that worked up greatly increases the risk of them colicing and i wouldn’t want that to happen to any of your horses

You gotta stop Molly’s leash pulling because when she is older you won’t be able to control her. Try working on some loose lead walking.

I’m glad everyone was ok💗

You should always cool down the horses by walking them before putting them into their stalls. Never feed them when they're hot either!

I agree with Laura I don’t like skittles but I love the first horse you showed in yesterday’s video

Hey Laura. I would suggest getting the like round pen panel fencing because you can take it to your new property and it’s always useful. Much safer

My ponies escaped there paddock twice this week but it was ok the only thing for them to do is eat grass because our whole yard is blocked of from wooden fence. And it isn’t enough space to just bolt!!!!!!

If I were to see horses galloping on the side of the road I would say. Stampede!!

This brings back memories. I'll never forget the phone call I received early one morning "your horse is out!". Lucky I lived in a small country town and they knew my horse. Found him wandering the neighbourhood saying hello to everyone, horses, people, dogs, no concern at all just happy plodding along. Guess he couldn't wait for me to take him for a walk that day. I think it took me most of the day to calm down though, very scary.

That must of been so scary, I can’t imagine if that happened to me Love you guys ❤️

Wow, why are there so many rude comments? "Fence in your property, stop molly's leash pulling (Btw she is one of the best behave puppies i have seen), don't feed your horses when they are huffing, don't give them water" Like leave Laura and her family alone, they are doing their best and you haters will always find a way to criticize! Love you guys

Thank goodness everyone is okay! Stella was watching over them :)

Maybe if you put up wooden fences with gates and you can put electric fence on the inside ! That’s what we done with our Shetland because she is very strong and she never touches the wooden gate or the electric fence

Oh gosh thank god that nothing worse happend!!! So thankful that they are all okay! ❤️

Oh no i hope u all are ok It must of been so scary Love you guys ❤🐎🐴

the fact the horses got out and you realised it’s not safe for a gypsey vanner is a big fat sign to me at least that the horses you were looking at are not for you

First get proper fencing and gates second seperate the horse that beats the others up. Glad they are okay

I want to watch Gracie and willow run around in the new field!!!

OOO That's scary stuff,so glad everyone is ok! Makes for a good day's of work.Great team work!!! 💓💓💓💓

My favorite fencing is probably high tensile woven horse fencing. It is durable, visible and lasts a long time. I have never had a break out or injury with it. 3 inch woven I find is best. Just an idea for the new farm. I hope you find one soon.

you guys are the best youtubers ever. and i can trust to watch you guys because you never swear, and i love that

I don’t like the fact that they got on the road but I’m glad that they are OK and that everybody’s fine and that nobody died

Y’all are so lucky while it 70 degrees there it is over 90 degrees almost every day here!

Hi im Sydney From Utah USA and i love your guys' videos! I hope the horses don't get out again! I also hope you guys find the right horse and a new house! Love you guys!

My friend has a horse that could push through the electric fence so they added another fence in one of the gate (I don’t know if you will understand because I can’t explain things well) Ok so this emoji 🗒 basically looks like the paddock, were the fold goes across is were they put another fence and in front of it is the actual gate. Ps sorry again for the bad explanation ❤️ Ok so 📝 were the pencil is is were the extra fence was put in in front of the gate ( omg 😆 I’m so sorry that probably made no sense 😂) So basically it adds extras protection, As well as the fences off area that you put in.❤️

Hi, I hope all is well! I just wanted to say your family is so loving, funny and always brings joy to my day! I hope you have a great day and keep on being positive. Bless you guys.

Hi I'm so glad you are blocking of the exits.because once theyve broken out once.theyre likely to do it again.

That’s crazy! So happy the boys are doing ok tho💕

You may want to put vet wrap on finnys leg where his cuts are so if the scabs come off then it won’t get infection love you guys stay safe . I feel like the pony’s are next I may want to check there fence ❤️❤️

It is not a nice feeling when they escape. My boy last winter in dec escaped decided too jump over barbed wire at the back off his field through a hedge and into someone else’s field ... not at our yard. Took 3 hours too find a way out eventually finding the owner off the property too unlock the gate and I had too lead him back on the main busy road in dark with heavy traffic. My heart was racing. Was so glad we made it back home safe I had too cry lol . It is not nice traveling back so far from the road . How he never hurt himself that day I will never no ! Hope there all okay.

I had a heart attack. I hope they all get better❤️

LOL..I love Storm!! He has the same "horsenality" as my horse. Mine used to break out and stand in the middle of the road blocking traffic. It's no fun having a cop knock on your door in the morning because no one can't get to work or school 😅 When they threatened to charge me with manslaughter if someone died as a result of my horse getting out needless to say I built a better fence.

Laura you were right, you should’ve waited to give them food when they hadn’t calmed down properly! They can have water, but not good. That’s all must of been so scary though!! Glad they’re ok

Hi maybe they got a fright and bolted but glad your all ok and your horses,

Thank god that all the horses are ok and safe I had a horse that I rode that got on the road and slid she had to be put down

The new farm calls! So glad they're okay and you guys too.

Those wounds on his legs probably need stitches to heal better. I heard Laura saying they don't but they seem quite deep. And he probably needs antibiotic.

I’m so happy all the horses are fine! My pony likes to go under electric fences to get the good grass. One time he escaped during the night and I looked in the feild and couldn’t find him I panicked and started shouting his name and he just neighed and trotted up to me from be hind the stables like where’s my breakfast🤦🏻‍♀️😂

That’s literally one of my biggest fears ever💕💕💕
