What a nice, happy ending. Good thing it happened during the day or it would have been a nightmare.

Home is where the food is, unlike the rest of Hoth.

A silver lining to shutting the stable door after the horses have bolted.

Did they escape on the ninth day, when the desert turned into the sea?

Been there more than a few times. If you chase them they go even farther away and can get lost. It's bad when they get out in spring when the ground is soggy and their feet leave big holes in the sod. I have had to go with wheelbarrow of dirt filling each hole because you can't remove them with a lawn roller. My dread is the sound of hoofbeats at night going past my bedroom window during the spring thaw. I have a big 17 hand gelding called Houdini that can undo gate latches. And speaking as someone who has owned about 50 horses over the last half century. THE MARES ARE THE WORST. I give 10 to one odds the group on TFA was being lead by a mare.

Loose horses very dangerous to motorists at night. Unfortunaty have seen that also, but they weren't mind. Shout out to Subtonic who I have farkied as hates horses.

"It was a team effort," she said. "As a community, we all pulled together to get these horses back home."

All you did was post on Facebook. They went back on their own, you did absolutely nothing.

Good name. I had a cat who could open doors. On the one hand, it's an impressive leap of intelligence. On the other, f*ck, the cat got out again.

After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.

Sometimes there isn't any grass on the other side. Just snow.

WTF? Do you drive with your eyes closed? Do you have headlights on your vehicle? How the hell do you not see THREE horses? What do you do if you see deer headed into the road; accelerate? If you see a man walking beside the road at night do, do you roll down the window, swerve off the road to hit him, put your head out the window and shout "TWO POINTS?"

My bother lives in Massachusetts where horses can be boarded within city limits if you have a shed/barn and people frequently ride them through town. His coworker had a couple of Morgans, including a 20 year old rescue. That horse was super smart. Once or twice a week it would let itself out of its stall, walk a half mile down the street to the small market that had fruit and veggie stands outside, and help itself to a bunch of carrots. It would then go back home and go back it its stall. The only difference was it couldn't get the stall door latched again. People were aware of horses so he wasn't in danger, and he always stopped and checked both ways before crossing at the crosswalk. She noticed that the door wasn't latched but didn't think anything of it since the horse was inside.

After a few weeks of this, she went to the market and the owner asked her to settle her horse's tab in addition to her purchase. She had no idea he was doing this until that point. Somebody recognized the horse as hers so the owner knew who to hit up for the money.

I gave you a funny, assuming you were joking. Let me know if you're serious so I can remove the funny and then lecture you on your Monday morning quarterback skills.

Ask that semi driver who nailed 13 deep brown bison one night by Yellowstone. You know he didn't want to do that. It made a big mess and he didn't drive away from it, unlike when they crush a deer and barely notice it.

I almost drove onto a bison one winter night in that spot. Didn't see a thing until he turned his head and I saw his eye gleaming. I missed him by a couple of feet.

It seems unlikely, but I wasn't driving fast on an icy road.
