What a DAY! My problem child decided to get loose, drag the other 2 horses into it, and get lost in the woods from 8AM-6:30 PM. Ever so luckily I have very wonderful neighbors, and they avidly helped us search for them until finally we found them back in the woods on the corner of their property in a clearing of grass. Pistol decided to show us who's boss by taking "his herd" away from the barn and probably never coming back. Thankfully, they were a dream to catch. No one acted up or acted stupid, even though we were leading them on a super muddy road, by a truck (myself and my neighbor sat on the tailgate leading all three), through all kinds of mud and standing water (hey that's what they get for running away in the middle of this wet wet wet season!).

We've decided we're going to get them alllll ID tags to put on their halters after this cute little episode. Figures too. The one night the farrier calls and says he can come, the horses are missing! Doh!

Just wondering if anyone else has a story about their wild roamers
