Early this morning - I had just stepped out of the shower at around 6:50 a.m. when I got a call from our neighbour. He wanted to know if we were missing some horses because a bunch had just gone thundering past his house.
He lives about 1 km away as the crow flies, so this was no early morning meander...
I jumped into some clothes and went to find my husband - who had already noticed the horses were gone. He had ridden out on the stallion to try to find the errant boys. They were no where to be seen.
I flagged him down from the four wheeler - my hair was now completely dry and had that wind blown look - and we set off to the neighbours with a bunch of halters, lead lines and a saddle - and a half-baked plan.
Our wonderful neighbour had managed to corral the boys in one of his pastures and we were able to get halters and lead lines on the six of them. Then we started the trudge home. WAY more excitement than I needed before breakfast.
Thank goodness for good neighbours. :)
This is a picture of the sainted mare herd that stayed home.
