Our neighbor, Brett Beverage, came by this morning to let us know there were two horses in our alfalfa field. He tried to get a rope on one, but it was skittish and would have none of it.

Susan called the neighbors who own the horses, the Fritz family, and we decided they would be safe in our yard.  So, I walked out across the field to them.  They would go near the gate into the yard, but not through it.  Susan came out to help and we both encouraged them.  After another call to Jon Fritz, we decided they could be left in the field until his work day ended.  At that point, I was pretty far north in the field.  I had to walk back anyway, so I figured I would walk to the horses and encourage them a little further south.  They walked with me and into the yard!!!!  I quickly closed the gate and announced my success.

One of my favorite sayings is, "It's good to be smart, but it's better to be lucky."

Here are a few pictures of them in our yard.
