This one day I came home and there was this mini...

In this day and age when people throw away horses because their; too old, too young, too slow, too fast, too whatever you fill in the blank. Finding a mini stud running up and down a road really isn't as  uncommon as it should be.

With evening feeding getting ready to start we really didn't have time to try and catch our new little friend right off the bat, besides someone would be wondering were their little hay burner had wounder off to, god knows we would be out looking.

Unable to even get near him we ended up just penning him in against the fence line with panels believing that someone would be driving up and down the road looking. You would think as old as I am I would have, by now, quit hoping for the best in people when it comes to their animals.

Dusk came and went, cars came by and went still no one stopping looking for their missing little horse. By this point we had called the police department and animal control. In a small town on a Friday night, this is absolutely pointless, after all those deer wont shoot themselves.

9 pm came around with us trying to settle in for the night when lights showed up at the house where we suspected this little pony came from. sprinting up the hill thinking they must be frantic only to find a guy smelling a little of liquor truly surprised that one of the mini's had made off down the road. His first suggestion was to turn the mini back out on the road and herd him back up the road to his place. Putting an end to that idea, instead opting to have this man come and get the mini in the morning around 9 when we could see. Well the morning rolled in then it rolled out and still the mini is here. to make this better there is no one up at the house. instead of picking up the stud as promised he snuck off .

this little guy knows nothing about people, is not halter broke, so forget about leading him, thou I must say he leads better now then when he first made it down the hill.

So tune in next week....
