Every time I think about my loose horse story, I have to laugh....you'd have to know my gelding to understand that. While riding on a trail, not far from home, I emergently dismounted my gelding cz his evolved into a gallop going up hill. I knew I couldn't keep seated. He kept galloping leaving me behind. He was gone for some time,(he may have gotten almost back to the barn) until he must have realized he lost me. Then from a distance that sounded quite far away, I was pretty sure I heard him neighing...a short time later, I knew I definitely heard hoof beats.the hoof beats were getting louder, next thing I knew there he was thundering around the bend at the top of the hill from where he lost me. When he saw me, he stopped and called out again, then down the hill he came, right back to get me. The expression on his face was priceless!
