Wild Pony

This evening Brig and I were playing with Whitney on the Trampoline and Brig noticed that the pony was out of the fence. It's not the Dunn's Pony, they're letting some friends keep it in the back pasture. Anyway, somehow it got out and was on it's way to trouble. Since Brig had Whitney, I ran inside to get help and back outside to see what I could do. The only thing I've heard about this pony is that he's mean! I didn't really know what to do and nobody else really seemed to either. Luckily, I found a rope by the side of the house, thinking I could use it to lead him back to the pasture. I walked up to the pony really slowly, holding out my hand. He sniffed my hand and then turned around and started heading back toward his corral. He then stopped, looked back at me and just stood there while I walked up to him and put the rope around his neck. It was almost like he was waiting for me...how cute! I was wearing sandals so I was a little scared he would step on my toes, but he didn't. Rachel opened the gate and we put him back inside the fence. We walked around looking for a place that he may have gotten out, but didn't find any part of the fence broken. So, I don't know how he got out. I hope he's still there in the morning!

I guess all the experience with horses growing up has paid off. That is what I was thinking too Joyce, horse whisperer. Animals are pretty fun. Love moma

I was going to say the same thing as Joyce and Karen... You are a natural horse whisper. How sweet! Way to take action.

You are turning into a true Texan! Really its not so bad...lots of people are proud to be called a Texan.
That was pretty brave of you. I grew up around horses but still get a little nervous.
