An equine tree-hugger learns first hand the value of a clearly defined exit-strategy when committing oneself in unfamiliar territory
p.s. in case your were worried, the gee-gee was set free with the aid of a chainsaw, physically unharmed. Doubts remain over his mental state, however. When the farmer was asked what he was doing in the tree in the first place, he replied simply "barking."

Maybe you should start a "guess what the horse was really thinking" competition?
I'd offer an answer, but I'm stumped.
@UDH - I don't know what he was thinking beforehand, but since he probably had plenty of time to reflect on where he went wrong, I'd guess it was probably something along the lines of
"I couldn't see the wood for the trees."
'participants are feeling more than a little foolish for buying things they didn't really understand.' sounds like when you go shopping with your teenager ...
[wanted to include something about 'fodder' but I have only just woken up] :-)
My life philosophy since I was 5: always have a good exit strategy!
Horses can bark ... ?
@70s - I think "cannon-fodder" might be the phrase you were looking for!
@tnb - I can tell you are smart!
Of course horses can bark. Although often up the wrong tree.
Something about sitting there with my head in a tree and barking seems quite nice.
@lazy horse - I thought of you when I first found that photo / story... isn't that weird?!
hehehe perhaps a little weird.
Though Mrs Lazy says she totally understands...
@lazy - Mrs Lazy is nobody's fool...
