I was taught to ALWAYS close a gate - even if it was open when I got there. Still do it to this day the boarding barn.

And it is outrageous that they cut your padlock!<br /><br />I am glad everyone is accounted for.<br />You did get some good riding in, but what would have happened if it had been a blizzard???

It happens here too! Gates get left upen by people walking through the countryside, and it takes forever to collect all our sheep back up!

Every time I come home from working in the woods, we have to eyeball brands and tags and note sexes in our hayfields before making calls to our neighbors - we've had heifers, cow/calf pairs and now I have 3 young bulls (being picked up tomorrow) - all because of miles of fence being burned this summer...good thing our creek couldnt burn - we are getting to be known as the final destination for loose cattle LOL now we are getting calls to be on the lookout LOL<br /><br />but in your case, yep, youd think that people would understand the golden rule of the gate...Janice Grinyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363741660626407979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976105067124355885.post-32211718893684986432012-11-02T12:08:13.180-07:002012-11-02T12:08:13.180-07:00I agree with what Barb said.

The land is so beautiful! <br />I believe that leaving a gate in the position you found it is one of the basic rules kids are supposed to learn in Kindergarten. And, I think most folks learned that locks are meant to stay locked... unless you have the key! Ugh! Some folks just never learned the rules.. or never feel they apply to them!<br />We have one gate that opens on the main highway. We put a chain and lock on it just because we were afraid that some yahoo might open it, just for kicks.

They often have the arrogance to think the locked gate is all about them - keeping them out with no thought to keeping the stock in. Well you got it handled and we got to see some fantastic pics.
