Did you ever just have one of those mornings............


*Old picture - now snow, but I wanted a visual


I woke up this morning, going through the morning routine....Max is looking past me out the front door with a very concerned look on his face. He's stammering, trying to speak. He gets out, "George in Mickey's yard". I look and both horses are in our neighbor's yard on the other side of our house from the barn. I tell Max to get Daddy and I suit up and head out. No lead ropes or anything, but I DO have treats in my pocket!! :) I get to George and start giving him treats. Now if you get one of the horses, the other follows. I grab George, cuz, well Minnie's a bitch and I don't like to deal with her unless I have to. I didn't even know where they got out, so I didn't know where to get them back in. I see soon after that, that the electric rope is down and we can just walk right over it. We do, and all was well. I get George up to the barn and Minnie is following, but slowly. Once I get the hay out and she sees it, she'll come. Of course, she doesn't remember where to get back in the fence, so she heads towards the road - ARGH! Now, I have to open the gate at the top of the pasture to let her in, meanwhile, keeping George from bolting out to be with her. What a hot mess we all were. Finally, after a lot of running and arm waving, both horses are in the gate. WHEW! So, how was your morning??????
