Two less horses

Today the owners were in town to fix a flat tire on their horse trailer.  They decided to take two of the horses back home even though there is little to no snow and the horses still have lots to eat in the pasture.  The owners came this afternoon and loaded two of the horses: one older horse and one filly.

Once the horse trailer door was closed and the two horses left behind understood what was happening they now wanted to go too.  Especially the filly.  She ran around the trailer and pawed at the ground trying to figure out what to do.  The wife and I got the two remaining horses out of the corral into the pasture and this enabled the husband to drive out of the corral with the horse trailer.

Once I let the two remaining horses back into the corral they ran to the front gate in hopes of joining their friends.  It was not to be.

They are sad tonight.  They would whiny calling for their friends.  They ran around the corral in hope of spotting them somewhere.  Whenever they saw me come out of the house they called to me.  When I walked to the corral they would look at me then turn their backs to me.

They get over it by tomorrow.

Here are the photos of the remaining horses.   Photo 1 is the older horse (Fancypants) looking for her friends who left.  The second photo shows the filly who ran around and around the corral looking for her friends.

Here are two photos of the oldest horse. Now and when she first arrived this past Spring. Being at the ranch fattened her up and did her good.

Here one horse is unfriendly and the other is accusing.  The two photos also are now and then to show how the filly grew over the Summer.

Looking out to the pasture for her missing friends.
