OK, so this ISN'T about training valley, but it IS about horses! So, can u bear with me? Anyways:
Yesterday while I was doing Biology, one of our neighbors called us telling us there was a white baby horse in his yard! So I ran outside and saw that the gate was closed, but I got a halter and lead rope, and me and mom drove down to Mr. Jerry's house.
When we drove up, we saw the foal eating grass. I immediately knew that that wasn't Valley. Well, almost immediately. We got out, and told Mr. Jerry that the COLT (Valley is a filly!) wasn't ours. I tried to pet the colt, but he jumped away. Mr. Jerry said he had been trying to rope him, so he wouldn't run away.
We (me and mom) knew the people that lived next door, because they own Old West (the stable that is about 15 minutes away), and they sometimes have horses at their house. So mom tried to call them on her cell phone, but the cell wouldn't work. So, with Mr. Jerry's permission of course, she went into Mr. Jerry's house to use his phone.
While she was inside, I slowly went up to the Colt, put my lead rope around his neck, and put the halter on (which of course was way to big for the small faced Colt).
Mom came back outside and said that Mrs. Debbie (the person that lives next door) was out of town. But she said that she was keeping the Colt at her house for the owners.
So, I walked the Colt over to Mrs. Debbie and Mr. Danny's house, and put him in one of the stalls (that is what Mrs. Debbie told us to do). He went strait to the water bucket and drank some water. When we were pulling out of the driveway, the owner's mom (her daughter has been working with the Colt is what she said, so I guess it is the daughter's foal) came to check the fence to see where the Colt had gotten out.
Well, that was my day yesterday interruption from school! Email/comment me about some interesting things that has happened to you lately. Or awhile ago. Whatever! And if you say I can, I will post them on my other blog!
Love,
Sarah

He wasn't really scared, but when i first tried to pet him, he backed away, but after that, he wasn't really scared.
He looked less than a year or just a LITTLE over a year.
