Horsein' Around

Do you know what it is like to chase a 1200 pound animal on 5 acres. Well, despite being 1200 pounds they move quickly and can turn on a dime! Yes, our Paint horse, Red, go out of the fence.

I am in the garage, Adam is by the gate, 300yds. away. All I hear is SHAANNNOONNN!!! SO, I dart out of the garage and see that the horse is trotting about. Adam is saying Hurry Up!! I am trying to unlock the trailer to get the halter - in the process I hit myself in the TEETH with my keys! YOWSER!!! SO, grab the halter an "hoof" it down to the pasture! Good thing I have been working out!! Okay I am out of breath just typing this!! Adam is trying to catch the horse with a bungee cord (????)it was the only thing there! Any way the horse darted off - would'nt you if someone was trying to bungee cord your neck. SO, the horse stops at the first patch of green grass he finds. It also helped that I had a handful of horse cookies. Don't ask I will show you if you come visit!

We have since installed locking gate latches and placed a halter at that end of the property. Just in case something ever happened again.
