Hello,

so yesterday I returned home from work, making my way through snow, fog and
darkness, with the intention of sharing the remaining of my day with the ones
that make life worth living and cast a warm light upon the most nefarious of
the shadows.

You guessed right: I am talking about my horses.

Anyway, I walked into the horseyard and found one of the two was missing and
that the horseyard gate was torn open. It turns out the missing mare was just
outside, trying to figure out how to return to the barn, which she couldn't
because the gate was locked in a half-open position.

Usually, when a horse finds herself out of their yard, they don't let
themselves be caught, specially if they are not trained or anything (my horses
were taught only basic manners and nothing else). I felt very touched because
this one let me get her so happily and put a halter on her. When going back
into the barn, she was so eager to return she was nearly pulling the leash.
Imagine walking a dog who is pulling the leash, but instead of a dog it is a
horse :-) The good thing is this mare is very well behaved so she was pulling
just enough to let me know she was eager to go back but not enough to make it
look ridiculous.
