Bent tree

Here is a photo taken back when I harrowed the middle pasture.   This tree leans because a little under 20 years ago when the tree was young I pastured a few horses in the Summer.  I wondered why the tree was starting to lean back then.  Then I saw why.  One of the horses would walk over the tree and then use the tree to scratch its belly as it walked backwards and forwards.  I had to put a post next the tree and tie it to the post to try to straighten the tree and prevent the horse from walking over the tree any more.

The tree survived.
