Update???

I gotta know how someone lost a horse and didn't notice the damn thing missing for 24 hours.

 

[heatherrae]

that is weird that it was bridled up and no one has come looking for it. One doesn't just leave them bridled up. I hope someone didn't get thrown out in the woods somewhere.

ok, the update. I went to the house where i assumed it must be from and they came out with a shotgun.
I got back in my truck and yelled out that I found a missing horse and wondered if it was theirs. they didn't answer, then went back inside so i drove away and fed the horse that night and the next day. then i made signs and put them up at a few places (which isn't easy when you live in the middle of nowhere), plus at the only market in town.

Then a man called and said it's his horse and I asked where he lives. He told me and I said i went there and someone came out with a friggin' shotgun and he said i'm crazy.
oh, your welcome.

then him and a woman drove over with a saddle, saddled him up and she rode off on him. This morning, they brought me 30 bails of hay and a thank you and an apology.

That is officially one of the weirdest stories, start to finish, that I have ever heard.

What's hay going for these days? 30 bales, that's not bad.

Weird fucking people ...

i pay 3.50 a bale, so 30 bales is a lot. they have a lot of land, and saw that we have 1 horse compared to their.. i don't know how many. a lot. they have cows and goats too.

they said their fence needed fixing and the horse got out of it that way. i know our trainer often keeps the bridled in the stalls.

Holy cow!

You have to laugh at the crazy rednecks who pull shotguns on everyone. Every small town has one of those families.

I once got lost in the country and knocked on someone's door and they ran out with a shotgun. I was running to my car and screeching out of the driveway while they ran after me with a damn shotgun.

I must have looked really intimidating -- all 110 lbs of my little strappy sandal clad frame...lol.

lol.
that's pretty much what I was thinking. I have no idea who they thought was coming to their house but
a. there is NO crime here.
b. it was light out. not prime time for a break in.
c. i won't say what kind of truck i drive, but its certainly nothing to be afraid of.
d. I was wearing jeans, flip flops, and a tshirt.

my dad used to come out of his house with a shotgun when he heard people coming up his driveway. it was difficult for me to get a date.

LOL...maybe that was your dad who chased me? It was about 8 or 9 pm and I was in a little beige camry when I got chased, but my goodness. Who would be afraid of me?

Well, I guess all is well that ends well.

I bet they thought you "wuz a ferner" and "not from round heyr" because they didn't recognize your truck.

it wasn't my dad who chased you. cars had to drive uphill for around 10 minutes along a mountainous cliff to get to his house. he was on over 100 acres and i guess he knew that if he wasn't expecting someone, nobody could make the mistake of showing up. Plus, he has some wild and dangerous animals so he definately didn't want anyone showing up.

he came out of the house naked once (he was a nudist) with his shotgut when i came home early from a date. the guy i was with was FREAKED and I was laughing and laughing.

i grew up different.
