Horse escape

Well I woke up early on a Sunday against my will. Dad burst into my room and woke me up saying that there was a palomino and a darker horse in our yard and the neighbor thought it was mine. He timed me and I ended up getting out of bed and out the door in less than 40 seconds. They weren't mine, luckily. These horses have been the cause of 90% of the 911 calls made on our road since I was born. There was a huge thing about the lady not feeding them and stuff. I dunno. 

Well Callie had apparently caught the Appaloosa gelding earlier that morning, but the palomino stallion had attacked her so she had to drop the leadrope, then he chased the gelding off. We tracked them for around 3 hours before finally catching them. The lady wanted us to use a soft, flimsy rope halter on the stud until I said nobody would be touching that horse without a nylon halter and stud chain on it. So I won my arguement and was the lucky one that got to walk him home. About halfway there, some mares were by the fence and he started his rearing and going crazy. I threw all my weight against him and had the stud chain on him and he was still ignoring me. As soon as I could, I handed him off to the owner and doc got the mares to the other side of the field. 

When we finally got them home, the gelding could hardly walk and she threw him in a small corral with sharp twisted metal everywhere and threw the stud in with her mares in hopes that he would pasture breed them. 

I'll post more pictures of the place and some of her dogs that were awful. Hopefully something changes soon because these guys are in really bad shape.

The black and white dog hasn't been there very long. Check out how skinny the 'red dogs' are though..
