Hoof Prints In The Lawn.

Hey everyone!

Where did that week go?! What a long and busy week, I missed all of you!

Some of you know I work at a horse farm over the weekends so I'm just in the process of thawing myself out.

While I re-gain feeling in my legs I thought I'd tell a funny story that happened a couple of years ago at the horse farm.

There's a very large, sweet, paint gelding that goes by the name of Buddy. He's a very docile horse, sometimes goofy, and has a unique personality.  Every morning all of the horses are fed, blanketed (in the winter) and taken out to their fields. Sometimes Buddy has other plans! This particular morning I opened his stall door to put his halter on...

A halter goes over the horses head so they can be led, basically it lets the person leading them "think" they have control over what direction they go.



Anyways Buddy turned away from me in the stall, I left the entrance of the stall and followed him. He then spun around and ran through the door, and out into the great wide world!

I only left the door open about a foot, apparently that's enough to encourage him.  He proceeded to prance around the barn owners' (my bosses') house, leaving perfect hoof impressions all over the lawn. He seemed so proud of himself too! Almost as if he was taunting everyone, saying "look what I did!"

Thankfully Buddy is very food oriented, and a bucket of grain persuaded him to let himself be caught.  Needless to say I close the door now whenever I have to go in a stall with Buddy.

And this is the culprit himself!

Thank you to Danielle for letting me post about her horse :)
