I've always left our two wheel/wheel barrow out in the feeding area as everyone loves eating out of it and there has never been a problem. Anyway, early yesterday morning there was a bunch of noise out there (more noise than usual as we have some old metal water tanks that we use as feeders and some of the horses will bang on them when it gets feeding time) and my husband looked out to see what was going on, and the two year old filly had her front foot stuck in the wheel and was dragging it around. We ran out there and my she had her foot wedged in the spoke part and of course all the other horses were gathered around watching. My husband tried to get it off, but couldn't get it to budge. I thought we'd have to somehow cut it off, but then the filly pulled away and went about 10' dragging the wheel barrow and then all of a sudden, her foot popped out and off she went like that was no big deal. Boy, have I learned a lesson-Never leave the wheel barrow out with the horses!!  

Of course, I didn't get a picture of it when her foot was stuck, but heres a picture of the wheel barrow and its deceiving as the spokes look big, but they aren't really that big.
