Country Living: Stray Horse?

Life in suburbia, has it's normal sights. Garbage cans lined along the road, neighbors push-mowing their lawns, and the occasional stray dog. In the country, I'm learning things are different. Some people use garbage cans, but sometimes we also save compost or burn our trash. Neighbors still mow, but they use tractors or riding mowers.

But it's the animal life that is much different. You've got the yucky ones like snakes and skunks. By far the most awesome are the deer that graze in the evening. Stray dogs? Probably not. Stay horses however are another story!

One evening my mom was sitting in the back yard when she noticed a large brown horse run through our yard. Suddenly, our neighbor ran over and asked us to get a bucket and belt. We gave it to him, and chased the horse around our property, trying to round him up. It was like a rodeo in our backyard! Turned out, it belong to another neighbor 2 doors down and got out of the fence. We had hoof prints in our front yard and back as you can see from the pictures.

We know we're in the country now!
