This is one of a series of several photos, with this young foal mouthing and "playing" with the loose barbed wire fence.
It makes me cringe. Every time.
Any horse—but especially the young or nervous—can crash into barbed wire and severely lacerate their skin, ripping flesh to the bone.
Permanent scarring and disabilities are common, and injuries may result in the horse being humanely destroyed.

My horse was cut on a barbed wire fence and had to be put down. I'd only had him 3 days and he spent next 2 weeks at vets, 2 operations and lots of pain relief. It was so preventable!
