It had been raining earlier, but we deemed it dry enough to put the horses out for a little exercise. We put them in the turnout pasture, which was fairly large - maybe 3-4 acres. Then we went back into the barn to do some chores. Little did we know that the gate on the other side of the pasture was wide open (why would we check such a thing?) We found out about it when a little girl came into the barn to ask us if we knew anything about the two horses wandering around in the neighborhood across the street. Sheesh! Of course, they thought that the nice green grass on the neighborhood lawns was much better than what was in the pasture. And we'd turned them out without halters. As you've probably learned, horse ownership is never boring. Great stories about Life with Laredo. I’ll never forget the day that a friend and I went up to the barn where he kept his two mares.
