Saxby's great escape

After a fabulous Memorial day trail ride, we woke up Tuesday morning and Saxby was missing!  It was completely my fault, I didn't link up the second chain on the gate and she has figured out how to open up the top latch.

Her forelock is a little mussed 




Lisa and Jessica dropped everything to Cowgirl up and staff the search. Turns out Saxby was glad to be rescued from the back pasture and once all the horses were put up and Jessica and Chester (my hero!) eased her into the dry lot... She walked into her pen, nice as you please. And seemed sort of relieved to be there by the time I got there. 

Once we got finished putting medicine on her scrapes, I discovered she has a big ol' bite mark on her right shoulder. Poor baby.













A closer view, she was angling for more treats!




















So, everything turned out really well considering how badly it could have turned out. Many, many, many thanks to Lisa, Jessica, and Chester! The wonder horse!
