Runaway Horses!

Hey ya'll!
I'm so naughty! OK, so I was letting the Horses graze as usual after they ate. (Valley had just a halter on, and Chloe nothing) Well, I was reading on the hammock, and the Horses started to graze on the other side of the house. I kinda forgot about them, and when I found a stopping place in my book, I got up, grabbed Valley's lead rope and went around the house to catch the Horses. Mom had just got home from taking Adam to a friends house, and I realized the Horses WEREN'T in the front yard. One of our neighbors drove up in our drive way, and said they were on the other road (I can't put the name on here, otherwise you'd know where I lived!)! So, we walked on the side of a rode, and saw them in a persons yard. When they saw us, they took off running farther into the persons yard.
So, we walked over there, and mom went around one side of the pond, and I went around the other side. Mom grabbed Valley's halter (she had to hold Amy one of our dogs too), and I ran over, gave mom the lead rope to put around Chloe's neck, and I took hold of Valley's halter, and started to walk to the road.
The people who live there, came out to see them. They said Chloe was the shaggiest horse they'd ever seen (cause she's got cushings disease), and they thought Valley was so cute. Especially one of the dudes. He REALLY liked Valley. He even asked if I was going to sell her! Of course I said no, lol. He thought Valley was really pretty/cute. The first thing he said was, "[Man] she's a purty one (I guess
that's what he said, I can't remember). Is she that one's *points to Chloe* foal?".
Anywhoo...well, we walked them along side of the road to get home. I was leading Valley by her halter for the first time on the road, and mom was leading Chloe with a rope around Chloe's neck, and holding Amy. Then we put them away, and that was our adventure for the day!!

WOW, that's adventerous! I guess that'd be bad if it happened at our house, because all we have around us is woods, and we'd NEVER find Daisy! :D

OOOO, Love the jolly ball in the picture below! :-)
